A note from Jerry Schwartz

last Sunday,
please accept this little poem..."
Dispatch To Earth People
Come on, let's go!
Bring anthing
that sounds
we are our only thing-
is that enough?
Yes! And if you've
nothing else
for ringing, come
with us with
your heart singing!
this flower smells so
strong, we may float away
we want to taste it-- what
kind of fruit does it have?
Maybe the fruit called
Courage
because it faces the sun? Maybe.
Would it be sweeter
than anything then?
when we go traveling,
whose orders do we have to obey? do you
know? whose?
The path. Only the path
can give true orders.
even when passing
through the sky?
Of course.
Are we floating as Choco Warriors to
the moon?
Maybe. But listen first to all
the riddles falling
from the sky.
We now know
as we make this trip
the places we go
will be partners in
a new dance.
Ancestral birds
have given us...
...what? The Gift
of singing.
To us who are dispatched
on a dream?
Yes.
No one can keep our song
to themselves,
especially
when the earth
looks so small--
like a baby.
Love to you all,
jerry schwartz
