You Are The Ocean

"You are the ocean in this drop of water,"
Rumi exclaims with radiant voice of joy,
then twirls around on broad shore of the ocean
with arms spread out in anguish of desire
to extend the sacred wings of Icarus
so he can fly above this world of sorrow.

Dark waves of solemn search for information
scatter detritus of dreams on pale sand
that gleam in silent horror of the dawn
while I assemble fragments of lost visions
to puzzle new world view of global truth
which accounts for every person alive.

One hundred million poems on cherry leaves
swirl around my head on the ocean beach,
so I catch one with cobra-quick attention
to feel dream of one human on this Earth
glow brightly in my eyes with starry faith
that we are raindrop tears of one star wraith.

So many nameless people on this globe
pulse passionately with anguish of hope
to live free from oppression of blind greed,
trapped in selfish dramas of other people
as each soul gropes blindly in maze of fear
to find safe haven in words of our voices.

I hear soft whisper of their secret voices
emanate from thousands of road-bound cities
that teem with vibrant energy of hope
at dining room tables, riding arenas,
library cubicles, and coffee shops,
heart-enchanting choir of angelic souls.

World spider of our hearts weaves tapestry
of stories from experiences we hide
to build vast edifice of psychic tropes
for literary scaffold which supports
courageous ascension to stage of life
where we join choir of strange humanity.

Though I almost hesitate to express
narrative demand of theology
to edit tales of suffering we endure,
I boldly adjudicate suppressed cases
describing crimes of facetious contempt
people commit against people each day.

Drowning in vast virtual reality
of wordless ocean waves formed from our tears,
we photograph each other with weird poems
to prove we are the ocean in the drop
of water that reflects our emptiness
in which we fall forever without words.
