There was a small village, set in the middle of nowhere. While the rest of the world updated their Facebook pages, Tweeted, LinkedIn, texted, posted, and multi-tasked at a pace even Data from the Enterprise would find impressive, this tiny island of inhabitation, cohabitation and harmony went on in blissful serenity. Isolated from the modern economy by miles of wilderness and separated from the modern culture of Want, Avarice, Greed, and Self-Promotion. This community set its standards for excellence by different measures.

Led by a Chief who was the most honorable, who was just and merciful, caring and compassionate, yet strict in his moral code, the people of the village lived in a collective accord with each other and with nature. They shared their wealth, as well as their poverty, equally; they worked together for the prosperity of all and, when needs arose outside their sphere of influence they would make appeals to their Chief to provide for them.

One day a young man came to the Chief with a request of pressing urgency. Sitting down at the fire with this young man, the Chief listened carefully to his concerns without interruption, his kindly expression filled with understanding and patience. The young man, however, was fretful, distracted, impatient and tense, and repeatedly rose from his place at the fire to pace around the room or go to the door and stare anxiously outward, his emotions ruling his thoughts and logic.

It was not a simple request he was making. What he needed was not something to be found within the limits of the village and the price of collecting it was costly. Nevertheless, the Chief listened, understood, and assured the young man he would work diligently on acquiring the item, regardless of how long it took. He asked the young man to wait until he sent word to him that the item had arrived and he could come back to get it. Agitated and unappeased, the young man went away.

The following week the young man returned. His countenance was shaken; his nerves were frazzled. He asked the Chief all over again for the item, repeating much of what he had already said, never giving the Chief a moment to assure him that the process of acquisition was already taking place and it would not be long until it would be shipped to the village. Overwrought with worry, the young man begged insistently, growing angry when the Chief tried to explain that the young man would have to wait just a bit longer.

Another week passed and no message came from the Chief to tell the young man the item had arrived. Thoroughly vexed, he decided to set out on his own for the towns, miles away through savage wilderness, with little money in his pocket. He did not know how he would attain the item he needed, but he carried with him a blade that would protect him from harm as well as convince those who sold the item of his urgent need. He left his home, his village and his chief.

The very next day word came to his hut that the Chief requested him to come to his tent at the center of the village. The item of his desire had finally arrived; the Chief had worked tirelessly, night and day, to raise funds so it could be purchased, packaged carefully, shipped and he now stood with the delicate, beautiful treasure in his hands, awaiting the young man’s arrival so he could give it to him and they could celebrate together.

The young man, however, did not come. He did not know the answer to his prayer was waiting for him, because he had wandered away out of impatience and anger. He did not know that all he had to do was come back to his Chief, open his hand and receive it.

How often I am like this young man. Blustering, Begging, Bartering, yet often, not quite patient enough. OH! What treasures have I lost because I wandered away!

Love is – #poetry of #peace

Love is the place we go

When shadows are too dark

And anger too potent.

Love is the Memory we seek

When cruelty divides

And sorrow impairs.

Love is the mountain upon which we stand

Casting our gaze outward across the vale

Seeking and Waiting

To Love

.

Spirit of my Mystery,
Enigma, Winging, Sweet and Free,

This Aura Ablaze,
Passion Aflight in Mystical Haze.

Spirit of my Liberty,
Chaos Spilling Magically,
Vigor and Might,
Vibrant and Strong,
All I am Resounding in Song!

Spirit of my Harmony,
Bold Enchantment, Visually,
Whisper Wind,
Upon these Wings,
Fearlessly Welcome whatever Life Brings!

Vision 1

Vision of what my Heart should Be,

Vision of Truth Residing in Me;

Light of Eternal Compass, Showing

The Brightness and Darkness Within me, Glowing.

Balance steadying the Moral Scale

Of what makes me Strong and what makes me Frail;

Purposefully Blending in my Perception,

Keeping me from my own Fatal Deception

Of my Vision of what my Heart Should Be,

The Vision of Truth Residing in me.

Vision 2

River of Loving Light

Peace Bless the Weary Heart,
The Sorrowful Traveler,
The Lost and Lonely Soul,
Love Reach down from on High
To Caress with Tenderness those fears that seduce.
Joy return like a River of Loving Light
To Reign in Triumph in that Longing Heart,
And Life Flow in Blessed Renewal
To Give the Strength to walk in Abundant Hope.

The Infinite Abyss

Shall All my Love be Crossed in bitter wailing
When in the Depths of Time, I lose Your Hand;
Falling from the Cradle of Our Sailing,
Where on our Ship of Dreams We Stood in Command?
Shall All my Hopes be Dashed against cruel shores,
When, plummeting to Earth, we Lose Our clasp
Upon the Tender Thread, along which, Pours,
The Strength and Vigor of Our Loving Grasp?
Where Night turns to Day and Day succumbs to Night,
Our Love yet tumbles in the Infinite Abyss
Of Watchful Souls, gently putting to Rights
All that Was and All that, Lingering, Is.
Still, I see the Memory of Our Timeless Love Affair
Glimmering in the Depths of Your Most Beguiling stare!

~Morgan~

Dragon's Wings

Dragon’s Wings

And Illusion that Sings,

Beating the Air with Calamity,

Burning the Sky to Hide what I See,

Tempestuous Notion of the Night,

Perturbed,

Confusing my Thoughts with Visions,

Disturbed;

Yet I Stand in the Storm of the Dragon’s Roaring,

Faith Locked in my Heart; my Spirit Soaring!

When the Prism Breaks

When the Prism Breaks
And Shatters all Around
The Lingering Glimmer that it Lent
Dissipates without a Sound,
Yet Tide and Time Prevail
Against the Hurricane of Life,
Where Angels Bow in Reverence
Uplifting Pain and Strife.
Capture what is Left Behind
By Standing in the Swale
And When the Lantern Light Abates,
In Grace Stand Strong,
Not Weak or Frail!

~Morgan~
