He lies quietly in front of the door,

Ready to lick you all over,

To kiss you and wag his tail,

To splash you with mud up to your ears.

No, he won't have to clean your clothes afterwards,

He'll be happy, after all, he's managed

To load up on your good thoughts,

With skills he's developed over centuries.

Since you missed the knock on the door

And didn't make a home for your evening meal,

He lies quietly, watching and not sleeping, waiting

For the bone to crunch. He would watch over you...

Why are you angry? Why do you look so gloomy?

If you do good, won't it be accepted?

Do you think I would eat lettuce or lamb?

Haven't you read what is written in Genesis?

I don't know if it's a door or the heart,

But if you ask a child,

"If you don't do good, the sin is there",

It would say with wisdom taken from the heavens.

Why are you angry? Why do you look so gloomy?

If you do good, won't it be accepted?

Do you think I would eat lettuce or lamb?

Haven't you read what is written in Genesis?

 CREATIVE SUMARRY

This poetic passage delves into profound themes rooted in the biblical narrative of Genesis, particularly the story of Cain and Abel, exploring the nature and meaning of sacrifice.   

By juxtaposing simple offerings—lettuce or lamb—it challenges the notion that the value of ritual lies in the object rather than the intent behind it. The text invites the reader to consider whether spiritual acceptance is determined by outward action or by inner sincerity and moral integrity.   

Through the innocent perspective of a child, it evokes the timeless idea that wrongdoing is an ever-present possibility, but also that wisdom can be found in simplicity and purity of heart.   

The questions, "Why are you angry? Why do you look so gloomy?" prompts self-reflection on emotional response and personal responsibility, underscoring the philosophical concept that goodness, when pursued earnestly, leads to acceptance—by oneself, by others, or by the divine.   

Ultimately, the passage weaves together reflections on morality, free will, and the search for genuine acceptance, urging a deeper contemplation of how one’s actions resonate with universal truths and the human condition.

The streets are filled with emptiness,

To where the road signs showing us directions...?

Will anyone be able to recall

The lessons that life teaches us, perfection...?

Are we walking, are we returning,

Is it a path or is a road...?

Why am I forced to ask these questions?

Where did the noisy week end...?

Did I worked hard to have you in me, oh, Mighty?

  Is our soul overflowing with pure oil,

Or is the lamp burning out and we cannot

Understand this vomit and without a pen,

Which wrote the darkness deep in us? And anyway,

Where is Reason, where will the insane go sleep... 

Who will raise the cry for "tents"...

And on the wedding and all the sacrifices there,

Who will offer them aloud at crossroads?

  A river of blood, up to the horses' bridles, I know,

Will flow long way, dark and stinking of death,

Smelling, soaking all the way into my bones...

In the sea, a wave splashes again and again... foamy...

  I hear a dreamlike voice

And with the sheep on my right aligned, 

I wait cheerfully for my turn for slaughter,

And in the new Temple, built and consecrated,

Eternity, will I rejoice, royally weepingless.

 CREATIVE SUMARRY

  This poetic meditation explores profound existential and spiritual questions, reflecting on the emptiness and confusion of modern life, the search for meaning, and the state of the soul. It uses vivid imagery and metaphor to convey a sense of inner turmoil and longing for purity and understanding.

CONTEMPLATION ON LIFE'S DIRECTION AND MEANING

The poem begins by depicting streets filled with emptiness and questions the guidance provided by life's directions. It wonders if anyone remembers the lessons life teaches about perfection and questions the nature of the paths we walk—whether we are truly moving forward or merely returning. There is a sense of forced questioning and reflection on the end of a noisy week and the effort made to connect with a higher power, referred to as "oh, Mighty.”

  THE STATE OF THE SOUL AND INNER DARKNESS

The poem asks whether the soul is overflowing with pure oil—symbolizing spiritual richness—or if the lamp is burning out, unable to comprehend the darkness within. It questions the presence of reason and the fate of the insane, pondering who will call out for shelter ("tents") and who will offer sacrifices at critical moments in life, such as weddings and crossroads. This section conveys a deep spiritual crisis and the struggle to find clarity amidst darkness.

IMAGERY OF BLOOD, DEATH, AND SACRIFICE

A vivid and somber image is presented of a river of blood flowing darkly and stinking of death, soaking into the speaker's bones. This imagery evokes a profound sense of suffering and mortality. The poem contrasts this with the repetitive, foamy waves of the sea, symbolizing the relentless passage of time and the cyclical nature of existence.

ACCEPTANCE AND ANTICIPATION OF ETERNITY

In the closing lines, the speaker hears a dreamlike voice and aligns with sheep, symbolizing submission or readiness for sacrifice. There is an anticipation of a new temple, consecrated and eternal, where the speaker hopes to rejoice without tears, suggesting a vision of spiritual fulfillment and peace beyond suffering.

CONCLUSION

  This poem captures a journey through existential doubt, spiritual questioning, and the hope for transcendence, using rich metaphors and evocative imagery to explore the depths of the human soul.

Well, losing is a matter of perspective,

And when you lose, what exactly do you lose...?

Know, looking forward to the eternal offspring,

And you will come out of Egypt, but will you

Distinguish from the bright, shining pillar,

The one who has led us so far and through troubles,

In fog and fire, clothed in dark smoke, descended,

Yahusha will speak to us, the forest burns...

And it shakes and thunders, thunders...?

Will we cleanse our bodies of flesh, our souls in time,

So that we may ascend, where, as commanded,

Will we hear the words, the great commandment,

Or will it only thunder loudly, and thunder again…, …again...?

The trumpet sounds, rise up for battle, comrades,

Decorate the lamp, watch and go,

In your vessel, have the oil ready,

You are invited to a blood wedding, be vigilant!

Sleep will come without delay

And we will fall asleep together to this voice,

It has prepared the stone in us, without hands, but carved,

To fit exactly in the place, chosen for us from the beginning.

Built into the new temple, Yahusha with a new name,

Will proclaim new commandments with a trumpet,

And the Sun will never again deceive us,

That darkness drives away, Yahusha True is with us, yes!

Work now, seek faith,

Lift up the cross, it is carried by another for us.

Six days seek life, love, hope...

And you will receive death. HalleluYAH!

Come on and cast out this fury!

Come and cast out this fury!

 THE MEANING AND PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTIONS OF "THE TRUMPET SOUNDS"

 An Exploration of Spiritual Journey and Human Existence

 PERSPECTIVES ON LOSS AND TRANSFORMATION 

The poem opens with a meditation on the nature of loss, suggesting that its significance is shaped by perspective. The rhetorical question, "And when you lose, what exactly do you lose...?" evokes a philosophical inquiry into the true cost of loss, implying that it may be less about material or immediate defeat and more about the transformation that follows. The reference to "eternal offspring" hints at a legacy or continuation beyond physical loss, encouraging the reader to look forward rather than mourn what is left behind. 

SPIRITUAL EXODUS AND GUIDANCE

Drawing upon biblical imagery, the poetry alludes to the Exodus—leaving Egypt and being guided by a "bright, shining pillar." This pillar, reminiscent of the cloud and fire that led the Israelites, represents divine guidance through adversity. The fog, fire, and dark smoke symbolize both the challenges and the mysterious nature of spiritual leadership. The invocation of "Yahusha" (a reference to Jesus or Joshua) speaking amid burning forests and thunder reinforces the motif of revelation through trial. Here, the poem philosophically questions whether humanity can distinguish the true source of guidance amidst chaos and noise.

PURIFICATION AND ASCENSION

The poet reflects on the necessity of cleansing both body and soul to ascend to a higher spiritual state. The repeated theme of thunder serves as a metaphor for the overwhelming and sometimes incomprehensible nature of divine communication. The question, "Will we hear the words, the great commandment, Or will it only thunder loudly…?" challenges readers to consider whether they are prepared to receive profound truths or merely experience the spectacle without understanding. Philosophically, this speaks to the tension between seeking enlightenment and remaining trapped in superficial experiences.

VIGILANCE AND PREPARATION

The call to arms—"The trumpet sounds, rise up for battle, comrades"—is both literal and metaphorical. Decorating the lamp and preparing oil in one's vessel are references to the biblical parable of the wise and foolish virgins, symbolizing readiness and vigilance for spiritual events. The "blood wedding" evokes themes of sacrifice and covenant, suggesting that spiritual fulfilment requires both alertness and commitment. The philosophical undertone here is the necessity of active participation in one's spiritual journey, rather than passive waiting. 

DESTINY AND DIVINE ARCHTECTURE

Sleep and the stone "prepared in us, without hands, but carved" introduce the idea of destiny and divine craftsmanship. The stone, fitting "exactly in the place, chosen for us from the beginning," suggests that each individual has a predestined role in a grander spiritual structure—the "new temple." The poem asserts that true identity and purpose are bestowed, not constructed by human effort. This aligns with philosophical notions of essentialism and the belief that meaning is inherent, not arbitrarily assigned. 

RENEWAL AND REVELATION

Yahusha's proclamation of "new commandments with a trumpet" signals renewal and transformation. The promise that "the Sun will never again deceive us" and "Yahuah True is with us" expresses hope for enduring truth and divine presence. Philosophically, this passage examines the concept of ultimate truth—one that dispels illusions and anchors the soul in certainty. 

FAITH, ACTION AND MORTALITY

The closing stanzas urge the reader to "seek faith," "lift up the cross," and pursue "life, love, hope" over six days, only to ultimately "receive death." This paradox encapsulates the cyclical nature of existence: striving for virtue and meaning, yet confronting mortality. The exclamation "HalleluYAH!" and the call to "cast out this fury" advocate for spiritual catharsis, encouraging the release of destructive emotions in favor of transcendence. Philosophically, the poem grapples with the interplay between effort, suffering, and the acceptance of death as a gateway to higher understanding.

CONCLUSION: THE PHILOSOPHY OF SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

"The Trumpet Sounds" is a rich tapestry of spiritual and philosophical motifs. It explores the dynamics of loss and transformation, divine guidance, personal purification, vigilance, destiny, renewal, and the acceptance of mortality. Through biblical references and evocative imagery, the poem invites readers to reflect on their own journey, urging them to prepare, act, and ultimately embrace the mysteries of existence with faith and courage.
