To a Greater Glory

To A Greater Glory

 

To a greater glory

Humankind aspires

To a greater reason

We are made Flesh

We long to know

The greater meaning

To our life and death

 

I sought my own immortality

In understanding

What my mind cannot fathom

Memories

And

Scenes

Of dead souls

Caught in celluloid

Sixteen millimeter

Energy and fire

Trapped in Polaroid

 

I ve seen divinity

In love for others

I ‘ve known evil

In their treachery

 

Now

I move forward in slow motion

Run to what has been

Lost n abandonment

And

The silence

Of voices grown cold

This is powerful Joe

Ann of Norway Ancestry personified in words, somewhat disillusioned with life, you carry on. Sing your song, and find the sepia memories, seeping through your mind, like brunt syrup. This reads so well Longobardolino, It is good. Love Annuccia. "We long to now" Know?
