The Eternal Energy
Don Hynes
The Eternal Energy
As he raised his weapon
the grief of what he was to do
collapsed his bitterness into tears
the knife falling, his body sinking
to the warm Earth that held him
while the loneliness and isolation
of his inner image poured out
in sobs and shrieks of anguish.
Forgiveness shone from the eyes of his victim
the intent to murder transforming,
the years of vengeance and hate dissolving.
The people of the village gathered
slowly dancing around the sorrowful pair
bringing their healing to the sacred center,
dancing in a spiraling shell
with the core a radiant sun
of new found vulnerability
and the eternal energy of love.
