My lonely face, My global face, Singing Their Song (new poem)

My lonely face, My global face, Singing Their Song

 by Tim Kavi

there is a oneness

captured in my lonely breath

where only the known

is revealed in a song

escaping my lips

dropping like tears from my eyes

across the widened

abyss of chastened justice

there is a universal wind

that, until singing it

only the powers will not know it

I arise

from the cobblestones

knowing my one face

has now gone global

in the rage

of technology's age

there is no hearing of it

until somewhere else

another voice is heard

a chorus of discontent

my heart reaches for it

in your lasting embrace, there is knowing

my arms circle around them

only to sing in glorious chorus

until all are free

again and again

for the sound of it is joined in music

where there is a turning

morphing of my single face

joined with a global race

where we all are one

can we care enough to hear the song?
