A Way Less Travelled - Adrian Rogers
Part One
The Way is Hard, But Blake Understands
When the Flood Comes – in a Dream
Sodden-leaved autumn, root slippery
half strips branches rain seeping,
no misted magically veiling
mellow fruitfulness
only a thinly winding path down-sloped,
levelling, breaking into a clearing
as water rising
laps over fear’s primal rashness
devoid of rational lightening,
dreaming a path’s aloneness
neither hearth nor home remembered
until disquiet
is dismembered by hope
grounded, upraised, sky cleared,
rending
lead-like weighted clouds slung low
yellow sun-shafted,
defining the alchemy of confidence
rectifying a mind’s scope
as lead to gold, mastering
the unexpected
yet present tensed, dry grounded
as trees draw back;
a higher clearing…
Croagh Patrick Pilgrimage
…until tossed clouds incense-like
over-roll a rough stone track,
a mountain hare wraith-silent appears
disappears
amid small stone rattles
a cold-edged self as the soul battles
fears, a clouded unknowing
with bloodied stones
no inspiration but pain,
desire’s silent pressuring,
bones slipping across hard surfaces
and life/death interfaces
with thunder, lightning, rain,
attacking those sheltering places
fourteen stations of the Cross
while exorcising our loss
unto nowhere
by a sunburst above the Temple
when the clouds power down
everywhere.
Blake’s 1st Vision – The Wailing Wall
Peace, be the dove
hovering above a wall
of stone-embedded prayers
remnant
of a universal temple unfinished
and undiminished
touch heads, hearts, and hands
in hope, the constant
