Al-Antony


"As the leaves gently drop from the trees that kiss"
"So did hyr tears"

Into the abyss of tears she swam, onwards to the future of human beings. Everything living has an end. Even the moon, the stars, the earth must take a bow of death within the spans of time. The light that burns bright will fade into the nothingness of an empty heartbeat.

The oldest living person lived to the age of 122, making her a supercentenarian. A Galapagos Tortoise is said to live up to 200 years of age, while a Bowhead Whale is said to live for 210 years. Bivalve Mollusks are said to live for 374 years as The Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Tree is said to live for 5,000 years.

"Into the dry earthy bed her tears did wake"
"The wild roaming flowers from their wilting grave"

Within the sands of time the sun has bared first witness to the struggle of life, while the psychics, soothsayers and Prophets have predicted our final sunset and ultimate demise. Where to go? Who to believe? Who to trust while living in an age of over information? Is there still hope?

If we follow our celebrities like Oprah, Tom Hanks or John Travolta our hope in a better tomorrow is found buying up acres on the moon and anywhere else in the galaxy that has a 'For Sale' sign.

How far can we go to avoid suffering? Christopher Columbus went about discovering the 'New World' while those who had tired of the 'Old World' now had a chance to come and go between worlds or stay in the world they preferred. Is the 'Galaxy of Space' our next 'New World' of hope? Should we trust in the riddles of Nostradamus or put our hopes in Martians to save us from ourselves? In St. Paul, Alberta, Canada they have built the world's first UFO landing pad for spaceships to land.

With ever growing cults, sects and alternative beliefs the world is changing. Is it for the better? Or is it for the worse? It seems a cataclysmic show down is looming for the mainstream religions that will affect us all, devout believer or hardcore atheist, or somewhere in between. Can we truly blame some people for turning their backs on religions over the years after the hurt and destruction they have inflicted on humanity? Silent faith that resembles an invisible church that does not have its hands dipped in politics, greed and corruption or wars would be as much of a blessing as people praying for their God, and not just for their own gains.

"Was she dead?"
"Was she alive?"
"Diamonds of rings cried from the thundering sky"

She flew back into the past but the wheels of motion could not be undone, but somehow a balance had to be reached for today's young. Where is humanities forgiveness? Where is its mercy and grace? Does a patterned behavior throughout history, much like a cheating husband or cheating wife, bring a distrust of hurt that can never be heeled or forgiven? How many times can humanity be burnt? How many times can we forgive or even try to forget?

Does dramatic social change mean wiping 75% of humanity out as The Book of Revelation in The Bible has predicted? Are there too many people now to control? Are people slowly turning their backs on the governments of the world and becoming dangerous? With world resources being pushed passed its limits is it now time to start drawing straws to who lives and who dies? Will Edgar Cayce's prediction of Atlantis rising, the world going into meltdown with floods, earthquakes and natural disasters become a reality? What for the predictions of the sun where scientists have predicted that in time the sun will turn into a giant ball of radiation, firing balls of fire and radiation at us, while sucking up all our oceans leaving us to die?

Revelation 8:5-7 The angel took the incense vessel, and he filled it with some of the fire of the alter and hurled it to the earth.
Revelation 16:8-9 And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun; and to the sun it was granted to scorch the men with fire.

The Prophetess sat upon the rock and marveled at all the beauty in creation. A simple flower pulsates her soul. A smile. A kiss. A breaking wave. A flock of birds. A blade of grass. Such tremendous beauty that touches the softest heart. She sat there with the wind flicking her long auburn hair, watching all the people rushing past all this beauty, rushing to find their death in war and political revenge.

"Where was she going?"
"Where had she been?"
"Hyr life as silent as a dream"

Is it the greed of the rich that direct our governments to do their bidding? Increased population means more wealth creation, more poor people to invest in staying alive, keep the rich richer. Money has corrupted our governments and very few decisions are made without taking money into account. Governments and people need to think past money and the constant billions of dollars of investing in war technologies. Imagine if we invested the billions of dollars into humanity, instead of war? Imagine a world without money.

"The forest began to moan and stir…"
"For hyr"

The Mayans believe a new age will begin in December 2012. Will it be the age of a spiritual re-birth or the age of death for others? How far can the powers be pushed?

"Branches snapped and fell from the naked air"
"As did the lochs of her long flowing auburn hair"

She refused to get into the last 'Space Ark' leaving earth. She still held hope. She had spoken to a sacred voice within the sun and asked the voice the meaning of life. The majestic voice whispered into her ear with love and kindness, "The meaning of life is how you make peace with it."

"She left her dress and clothes on an old befallen log…"
"That had once stood the harshness of a time long ago"

In order to find peace with the world, she had to first find peace within herself.

About the Writer Al-Antony

Al-Antony Moody is a published poet who likes to explore creative techniques of writing, using spiritual, poetic and thought invoking methods in challenging the reader to think beyond their spiritual realm. Growing up in the multi-cultural environment of the inner city of Melbourne Al-Antony has tasted many wonderful and enchanting traditions, and rituals from many different backgrounds. Al-Antony's work can be opinionated, confrontational and artistically cryptic (much like life) to give an abstract tapestry of word art that can be woven into secret and hidden meanings.
