Howlelujah

Hallelujah - From Hebrew, Praise ye, Jehovah’ Leonard Cohen, Howl – By Allen Ginsberg
For no single drop can claim to be river
But river is many drops water

No one tiny fish steers school
bait ball moves as one

Single step begins journey
Forgotten paces define trek

Single leaf cannot whisper
Breeze sings stories thru a tree

I could not build cathedral
My trace in final glory

Any true god fulfills need to faith
Combined their yammering but simple noise

Entropy a guiding force in evolving universe
In a moment sense Eternal minding Indivisible

We march only forward trampling mistakes
Incidents long forgotten arise and torment

Dust upon window obscures a view
Misty Milky Way above a cosmic portal

Howlelujah, invisible, unknowable and unprovable

Clouds embed mystic images in upturned faces
But, as fog, cloak in equal shade of gray

Staring into clean, cold water all is clear
From beneath the surface, nothing above retains focus

Rise as one for sacred flag
Shit together upon mother earth

Upon occasion, bow heads to pray
Baste in corporate fantasy all day

Consciousness lost forever, rejoins beckoning void
Puny effects approach...nothing...forever...Howlelujah
