The Chaos of Dissonance

Time For Prosery in the dVerse Pub ~ Bjorn has channeled one of my favorite poets and vocalists ~ Leonard Cohen ~ he invites us to use this line from a track on his last recording ~ "there's a lullaby for suffering"

There's a lullaby for suffering, soft and slow, woven into the fabric of our nation's breath. It hums through the cracks in our streets, the echoes of promises broken, banners we wave with pride ~ and in anger.

The words of this lullaby are scattered throughout the chaos of dissonance; left vs. right ~ red vs. blue. We sing songs ~ none of them harmonize.

We speak of hope, but it’s a hope that feels like an illusion, distant ~ blurry. The melody is familiar, yet it feels like a dirge for a country that has forgotten what it once meant to be united.

But still, the lullaby plays on. A soft, persistent hum beneath the noise, reminding us that something precious can indeed find its way back ~ to what once was, to who we were ~ to who we are.
