Voices And Echoes Of The Fallen Sacred (Rep) Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

Voices And Echoes Of The Fallen Sacred (Rep)



Breathing was shallow
the earwigs were sucking
the death out of pinewood remains-
Who goes there?

Sweet voices, soprano...
a visitation of Angels?
synchronicity ripely stunning;
yet a dark, cynical halo circling like crows
o'er dead harvest fields,
Who goes there?

'WE DO', said they...have you no eyes?


Thunder exuding resounding clamor
Tearing thru' acres of land
jaggedly, angrily orange, and blinding
as lightening swept o'er the blackwood,


and, voices stilled, as did the flash sudden flames-
scorching the sweet verdant sod;
peculiar presentation for Angels of The Christ,
perhaps as sphinxlike as Vatican II,
to the Traditionalists from the time of Pius X.

Breathing be cold and compromised it's said,
near holy soil, with warm epitaphs,
sinners grabbing their ash coated throats,
as the Eyes of a Crucifix
cry unsalted tears
over arched stone and freshly placed lilacs;
violet in Spring serve the sleeping with essence,
and ethereal beauty...almost sacred.

A lone voice in echo interrupts,
commanding the Angels
to return at once'
No one's safe here, be gone, come home,
no peace nor sleep for felled wings,
while the Risen watch silently o'er them-
with Wisdom and splinters from a Cross... Sacred.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Literature is best served when it lures the Reader, be it to praise or criticize. The idea is to not just bring the Reader to your poem, as that can be accomplished via the literary 'Triple T Theory' AKA: Teasing Title Theory. The object of any serious Author is to capture the Reader within the womb of the work, and motivate them to seek out any underlying's that will enable them to dig deep and extrapolate how the Author 'may' have intended their work to be interpreted.Interpretation is literatures gold nugget of latitude and in many cases the Reader's challenge. The above work is not by any means meant to be interpreted as blasphemous...however it's revelations are very clear to anyone who wants to challenge the depth of the work & ensconce in the axis of it for its findings. How I see it, and not being a Poet, but rather an Imagist of fiction & tell-tale, is that although every writer wants all their work to be read... To read the professional works, in particular of today's accomplished Contemporary Poets is to put tomorrows accomplished Contemporary Poet's on track through influence and experience to realize how much more they have in potential that still needs tapping and maximizing. And, for the record, some of our very best Contemporary Poet's were bountifully influenced by several of our Pioneers of Contemporary literature going back to the early to mid 1800's. Had it not been for Edgar Allan Poe and his pioneering the Mystery Detective Short Story, who knows how long time would have passed before we were able to enjoy the kind of Mystery Novels that soon followed Poe's all too early death at the age of thirty-nine.
