Poem: Call me Clown

This is another random poem. I was in the mood today after months of a dry spell. I hope you enjoy!









 
Call me Clown
Crazy foolish child
Leave dreams for drunks and bums
Every scholar knows faith should be dropped in a sea of wishes
Luck is much better to grab
Chance is the cousin of all
Breathe in the heavy sighs of a glass generation
We do it all our own, we are god.
Call me clown but
I hold on to a tightrope of hope
Base jump blindfolded from jagged mountains  of faith all smiles
Skydive from morality jets of promise
 into passing clouds of joy
“Laugh” as Favor falls with the glitter of the sunset
“Point” as the harlequin juggles small blessings big blessings, jaw dropping blessings in clear anointed hands
 Call me clown why don’t you?
I am running the race set before me.
Love bleeds from my heart
I run for you
Don’t have time to pitch a tent or get high
I’m needed on the road as all the rotten stuff passes me by.
I switched from floppy to mission trainers
 Now the finish line breaks more than tape and
Deters a final destination
? Who is laughing now?  Me.

Won't you be a living thing?


 

Won’t you be a living thing??
Come and awaken with me out of a dream.
Come wonder and wander with me in a place familiar
Won’t you be a living thing for me?
Quiet mountains whisper about you
Holy verdict presses your presence upon my heart
I can’t bear it!
Won’t you be a living thing for me?
Time carousels every turn I look, I watch, wait
There you are a glimpse, apparition, vision from another world, a realm called divinity
I dance with the hidden question on my lips
Do you sing for me? Do you discover me in a requested song? Does a figure follow with this reflection?
I feel a pleasant shadow in the dusk of a daydream and I smile almost float above the ground…
Won’t you be a living thing for me?
A world says, “You don’t exist”
Wait till heaven comes, Enchanted”
I say “this living thing is a plane ticket, a prayer ahead, prophesy chimed, wedding bells spoke Curtains reveal- This man is living and breathes my name to his…
    Here he is.
