"Tintinnabulation" Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

Edgar Allen nailed it
Arvo Pärt composes by
it; and now at this moment
IAM wrightin' bout' this!
This is the holy schist! These
lingering sounds, of a ringing
bell after they have been struck!
‘Great Bolts of Blue Lightning'!
Somewhat serene and some
times frightening! Struck up
side the head by ‘lightning out
of the blue'? Hey… what does this
remind you of? "GodSmack"! Oh ‘hello
kitty' yes! Talk about, a pussycat hanging
from a wire! Just imagine if you will, what a
‘bitch-slap' from the big guy; would feel like?
Your cosmic consciousness, steamrolled into a
puddle of whist! Yea! God, would not smack you
unless; you really deserved it! God then, gives one
a cause for reflection… in a similar fashion our Edgar
Allen made reflection of a lifetimes woes available to
all of US in his poem, "The Bells" … and Pärt, in the
‘minimalist style; ' and inspired by Gregorian chants
allows US his vision of a lighter side of a heavenly
host inspired personal repartee from ‘that guy'
Further on, and holding to the point, we are
informed that ‘Poe' had a habit; of rabidly
conversing with the ‘Jesuits' around Fordham
University… Ummmmmm… so that is where his
dark side came from? So, let US add yet a third party
to this mix of historical figures that have expressed
their ‘gifts' to the world and therefore, to the each
of US… Konstantin Balmont, authored the book
‘Burning Buildings, ' (Горящие здания,1900): in
which he sought to incite his readership to "inner
liberation and self-understanding, " typified by lines like
"O yes, I am the Chosen, I am the Wise, I am the Initiate; The
Son of the Sun, I am a poet, the son of reason, I am emperor."
Talk about a human being getting ‘God Smacked'! Herein then
we have discussed three humans being. Expressing their
providential essence through some form of ‘the arts, '
and I; have likened these experiences to that ringing
of bells and the resound of the sound of that ringing after
each one was struck… in this case perhaps; by the hand of god…
Tintinnabulation!
