“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
– William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Legend

Legend comes after the fall
Rocketing on wings sooted with truth
Imagining bravely a new world

Jettisoned stocks of mislaid deeds
Lie crumpled in the garden
A masterful affair torn to wilds
And reclaimed by its own natural temperament

Bastions slated for oblivion
Rise to a new mantle
Humility spilling itself from rivers of love
Whose currents authored our passage

In this our new genesis
We blanket the sky
Freed from our stories
Alive with presence
Soul sounding endless reverberations
Of light made song
A resonant throng after the fall

    I like the hopefulness of this poem. After the cleansing forces of destruction have their way, things will come alive in a new way. Yes!

    This is a poem for a bard to recite, maybe with a drum!

      Ooh, a drum! I think I have one hanging around here somewhere…

    A fine tribute to the winds of change – or the sooty wings of change and illumination? – may they blow through human hearts and Wake. Us. Up. Smiles.

    Few magics are as powerful as the force that feeds a spirit reborn. I think that’s my favorite part of change and endings. Even though we are hurting for what is no more, there is joy in the opportunities to come.

      Well said, Magaly. And that we must celebrate!

    This bears rereading and time; I feel as if I could wonder through it.

    Love the wonder of what we would be, freed from our stories – beautiful and deep.

    The best stories come from struggles. And there’s nothing like that feeling of joy in being fully unencumbered from a hurtful past, so we can see how far we can really fly. Thank you for this dose of hope.

Riders of the Tempest: The Story of WE
by H. Hennenburg

Riders of the Storm by H. Hennenburg ebook cover art
Cover painting by Autumn Chiu @ArtChiu

There is no “I”. There is no “you.” There is only WE. “Reality is in the possibilities,” and Riders of the Tempest is a quest for the heart of what can be.

This collection of poems by H. Hennenburg tells the story of WE. Born from Supernova, we bear the imprint of the universe: the mandate to expand. Gripped by a deep yearning, we march into a tempest…a great storm…a war between our desire to expand as individuals and our desire to expand into the truth of our oneness. We believe we are mere “echoes to the sea and gathering storm,” but there is more to the universe than what we see. We are “more than the caged experience of sight.” Endowed with an infinite stream of choices, what happens in our story if we reach for more?
