blades of onyx
sharp
cut the umbilical cord
of sounds and tears
flooding the sea of sorrow
with dryness
the eyes of drought
measure with pride
the parched souls
lined up at the gates of the sun
“no water!”
the sponge drips only sour blood
on the lips of light
“no roots!”
echoes of salt
whirl within voices
and sand stays still
“unworthy!”
the earth screams
muddy with guilt and regrets
someone
somewhere
will carve hieroglyphs
in the stones we become
today…

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page.
