Levity Poem by Elliott Rosenberg

Levity



Levity
- - - -
If I can dream to fly away,
Where would I go?
Africa's dessert and leave my soul,
Under a tree burning alone.

Maybe the truth is finding a home,
In an oasis standing tall,
Somewhere in heaven not forgotten,
Burried with walls of stone.

I shall stay another day,
Sleep this morning with my groom,
His pillows made of Jacobs rock,
Wich holds my head past noon.

In his arms I still remain,
Like a virgin with the moon,
Crying with love I bathe his skin,
With many tears of joy.

Time it came for me to go,
And find another way,
Birds I followed south that day,
To distant cliffs unknown.

I must say I felt a need,
To trace my steps to him,
Yet I sailed to see the world,
And leave my heart behind.

Knowing that evening all the same,
That wich I became.
To the horizon I turned and sighed,
With laughter and much pain.

Lord! I said.
Vain! I am.
Narcist are my ways.

Take me whole,
To your world,
Please feed my empty soul.

So my words fairies heard,
And piety was redeemed.
Then I flew another mile,
Wearing angels smile.

On this journey I have met,
the rainbows I have sought,
Giving color to deep oceans,
where my love once wept.

Awake I am,
my eyes have hatched,
to see you from the darkness.
Standing firm you never left,
always by my side.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Sitting at the Admirals Club in London, England awaiting a flight to Chicago I hear voices, I see faces, they come at me in all forms and colors. My senses are overwhelmed and cannot distingish one feeling from the other.
Suddenly, I feel like Saint Peter guarding the pearly gates flooded by a mob of fallen angels finding refuge back to heaven.
As silence befell, only one angel stood, soft spoken her words opening her heart to me.
And so I wrote this poem for Giovanna, a brazillian model who writes to god daily while eating macaroni and cheese.
