The New Gods

these Lovers
exist beyond love
in the realm of the Original
in the realm of Peace

mortals pass them by
never understanding
their sacrifice:
to become immortal
they had to give up
being
human

where are the Gods
who used to come down to play?
to live?
legends magnified
by their love of flesh
of life

but these Gods are new
they must practice well
play by the rules
giving all
desiring nothing

They call for our love
but cannot feel it
They call for our love
to bring us higher
They call for our love
because they know love will save us
They call
but remain just out of reach
of our love

we are indebted to their grace
but saddened by the truth:
the best of us made untouchable
because the rest of us could not feel

we are blind
so they give us their eyes
we are grateful
but so sorely miss
gazing into them
