One thought on “Prompts for the Seventh Hour”

1. Picture Prompt

   If I could find and reach
   an old wooden bench
   in a garden peaceful
   or by a silent empty
   roadside lined shaded
   with shady Çinar
   and I could feel safe
   in lonely comfort-

   Whose bench is this?
   who placed it here?
   who was so kind?
   who cared for the old?
   Someone knows the truth
   and that is true love-
   True to the oath and promise
   the only way to peace
   in the heart and soul.

   Now that I have found
   would I be able to
   sit awhile
   awaiting the
   closure of my laden eyes
   with peace in my soul-?

   After for long awake on foamy floor
   fearing the crashing of the door
   with all the floods storms
   and earthquakes I know-
   the Beast is somewhere near
   and so
   I cannot think of sleeping

   am I awake to the Truth?
   Could someone tell me

   how on an old wooden bench
   does one really find enlightenment
   love and peace- is this the place
   for the real awakening?
   The place of eternal peace.?
