Tortured text

Posted by Jean-Baptiste le Bonhomme on 2007-11-15 00:52:54, Thursday

The feeling of being lost for words
not to be able to utter a single syllable
not to be able to move or lift your eyes
when you're in the presence of One
one so beautiful it hurts to look

what is there to show you came in peace
to show you have no evil in mind
when a single look can create turmoil &
fear and turn a lord into a cowering animal
what power in such a beautiful vessel

but how to over come the fear?
the fear of contact
the fear of having nothing to say,
to offer, but a wan look that serves
no purpose but to demoralize the
traveler from which it comes

what purpose these tearful laments
but to open up where to speak out
and laying bare one's soul will focus
the anger and wrath of zealots and
fanatics on you.

Oh, to have been born with a love
unspeakable. The sorrow of staying
silent when the heart wants to cry
out in song in nearness of those it
longs to be with.

Only a few can face up to the world
in candor and remain unscathed. To
become such a noble creature is a
worthy quest indeed.

Blessed be
JB
