BEYOND THE ETERNAL LINE
Truth screams from the streets of the heart
Nectar of life in the palm of a hand
Soul stirs the merchant dream of a moment
A sign of promise in a capitalist land
One breath blew it all away
On the silent wings of a butterfly
Time after time we prevent love’s decay
When we walk
Beyond the eternal line
Sweet jasmine filled the acrid city air
Blossoming through a rusted chain link fence
Colorful refuse swirled our feet
Drunken bodies lay drowned in defeat
A pungent aroma from a hidden alley
Got lost in love as I slowly passed by
The mirror of fate blinks mighty and fast
When we walk
Beyond the eternal line
Angelic friend whispered into my ear
You’re a servant of God have no fear
No need to look hard
No need for tears
See the flower path before you
Painted in a mural that reads
“Welcome”
A spiritual sign
When we walk
Beyond the eternal line

TEARS FOR PEACE
Tears for peace
Run down the face of humanity
Crying wounds of hate
Seek impossible escape
When the light of the soul
Clenches the darkness of barbaric ways
Tears for peace
Run down the face of humanity
Oh sweet world
Gift of life and mind
Remove evil teachings from the eyes of humankind
Lift us from the dust of earth
Return us from the heavenly skies
Embrace the call to oneness
In the sharing of eternal life
Tears for peace
Run down the face of humanity
Down the face of humanity
Run tears for peace
Tears for peace
Peace for tears
Tears for peace
Peace or tears

SOMETIMES WHEN ALONE
Dismayed by human atrocity. Poetic healing. J’aime Paris! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYtxYRO_YpM #JeSuisCharlie #CharlieHebdo #parisattack
SOMETIMES WHEN ALONE
Sometimes
when alone
the wonder of your lips
caresses my mind
and soothes the troubles of a violent world
where bullets pass through life
from a trigger finger crying for love
whose path gone awry
set the stage for mass killing
and human atrocity
sent into thin air as smoke signals
from a smoldering gun
Sometimes
when alone
the soft touch of your hair
draped across my body
protects and shields a delicate heart
from the rampant ills of society
where a breath of life
creates an arched rainbow of awareness
across the blood red sky of humanity
falling in a blanket of ash
from the bones and skin of a smoldering gun
Sometimes
when alone
the sound of your beating heart
into my ear brings the comfort
of a child nestled against a mother’s bosom
whose milk has flowed throughout
the history of all creation
whose love poured from nipple to mouth
devoured any thought of weaponry
whose child reared never needed a gun
whose child grown into maturity never needed war
JAMES BERKOWITZ © 2012
WINDS OF TRUTH
Winds of truth
Come with the light of God’s hand
Remove crime and poverty
From our ill ridden land
Spread a blanket of love
For our hearts are in need
Remove anger and hate
With a harmonious seed
