Turn your words prophet - Rachel Parry

[Larry Robinson]

Turn your words prophet


Take your words prophet and turn them
to seed
press them 
into the palm 
of the earth 
give each one
a finger of light 
let them rest 
as long as they need

Take your words prophet and turn them
to softly falling rain
on the Sierra Nevadas
send them
rushing down
dusty valleys
filling dry wells 
and parched imaginations

Take you words prophet and turn them
to music
join the love song
of the phoenix
strike fire from
the heart of man* 
till the last notes 
fade in a trail of smoke

Take your words prophet and turn them
to ears
listen, listen now
to the human
mind feeling
its way back
to the body

Take your words prophet and 
let them hang
in the wind
blowing this way
and that
clean white 
sheets on a line

Take your silence prophet and throw it
wildly 
to the end
of time
leaving nothing
but the echo
of breaking
waves


*’Music should strike fire from the heart of man,…………..…’ Ludwig van Beethoven
