EVOPRAYER by R.S. Pearson (Composed 1991-1995)
This is a cross-cultural work, sometimes using Christian imagery,
but not wishing to be locked into the things that the West sees
as the Christian aura in this part of our century. It's using the
anti-novel literary form: "anti-novel: a literary form with none of
the characteristics of the novel."

I really love the non-existent music, 1 2 3, New York
City, every city, a rainbow me; take me to the gritty metro
silver lighted river, wash me in swirls of higher thoughts; like
balloons, like delusions, like men who thought they were the
Christ; telepaths who saw life in shades twice as bright; this
way always crazed except in the life of the mind of Christ.
I'm seeking something coming closer to heaven.
Hello wake to roll in leaves in a place that has no space to
replace me....if I am not to love that which is life I have died
the death of those who die first without dying. I was
never except in the thrill of life and I see roots of
sickness-plants to think my life wouldn't be something I love.
I just couldn't do that. I'd rather escape by writing a
strange book with meaning only to myself.
Christmas decorations crackled like dynamite for even
kids who love something someone told me not to love
- can we make solo decisions?

Silver beauty, old syllable threads, weaving oil rectangle,
flame petals ever burning, clear balloons swimming in peak force
virgin, gathers shining of quiet showcases telling nothing is more
beautiful.
Life bleeds a good meaning, a good battle against nihilism,
talk of the way life presents itself to you, how does life talk
of itself? I see hopefulness as an older sister, I see healing as
sobriety and developing new skills.
I had a relaxation for all, wildfire like gold music.

....are timesing 20th billion.
Bring me to the light as I seek to bring it to the world. Bring
them to the light, as I bring it to the world. Secret spring
sunlight inside ferment!
....impressions of the sun, one hundred thousand million
bolts of light, impressions bright and all of this glorious globe
of light.
Dreams of maps, hoisted away into gaps.
The cold ocean, breathing again and again, hoping it will
wash away some sins of the day. The resilient sand beneath hands
and feet leaves its gravity and picks up when my body lifts off
it. It is the beach, the waves are friendship itself.
Sweet dance, white miscellaneous wall. Join the mystical hard
charity core, high siphened childcloud girl parkwalk talkthought.
Sorrow thoughts placed from hearts regrets, in tick-tock
tones, this music plays rainbows, rainbows intentions. Kid's life
goals come true in strong men's lives. To know oneself is not
anguish, why don't you echo God's love for you?
Astropassion savior's hands, always knowing always
learning of us. Showing golden gleams; earth destiny smashing
doctrines of the faithless.

Aged Iris....
Oh aged, old ancient iris, seer of more than two hundred
years of continual figurative breathing. Aged iris, reflector of
deposited Heavenly Father's solar system games' light waves.
Noble lip women sought my noble man eyetouch.
Rejective upbringing spells working off for nine years the
reaction. This makes us shiver velvet geranium patterns against
the sky. Ovals all rising to the top. Nothing
happened in self-enclosing chambers of artificial tips of the
brain belt -- except a million lifetimes worth.
Hit the limits of fundamentalism, outside the circle of
my ability a new situation impinges. To re-think my interaction
with God, to stay constructive.
Spiral peach ladder, in like a safty net, magnolia and
daffidil frostings.
Do we attribute any intense afterlife value to the actions
we do during the day?
Lo, if it could it would smash the prison walls in the minds
of those in real prisons.
It echos the power of past contortions. Do I long for God to
make my life sweeter? My pen is emptied the heart is still full,
sometimes I seek to write that book, can't understand it, it
might be wisdom holding me back.
Lo, if it could it would smash the prison walls in the minds
of those in real prisons.

Don't see 28 as young nor 58 as old.
It is a map of antiques, old dreams and hopes. It is the
inner truth to find the ultimate truth in high aspiration. For
envy is easy and is always littleness of soul. Please a
generation living on whirlwinds, licking giant rainbow lollipops,
offering you the one they brought to spare. I've seen a
multitude in the world, them with good intention get lost so
easily in cobwebs of poverty, some ending up blind and miserable.
Life, you have to pour out your Holy Spirit, your
regenerative washings. Won't be able to last one minute.
How about much more peace that passes all understanding?
To keep my heart and mind in Christ moving in His ways on
earth; alas, that is your only aim. Can't compare yours to a man's
theory, to make you in competition withany. You'll keep alive every
little good thing alive that dies in men (kindness, equanimity,
generosity, hope).
Starflower, all those many miles away.
Fat long plane like forever is in lazy lay in horizon. We are
closer to the place where the pilots take stock in themselves.

Dream away from culture and those useless things of
class.
Let's give life a name of love.
Let's seek for good chance, coming closer to our old days
of superpower (but which were reckless).
Moving closer to kicking away hurt, exorcising demons,
learned to pray them into the dirt. Like a bird singing out faith
around because it found many getting these rewards, planned works
of righteousness ruling over rebellious world.
Spectral art technical mountain relics, around ponds mercurial. See
the young dedicated to spreading the outer things of present existence.
Imagine the young spreading virtue -- feelings, taste for non-violence,
giving an upward consciousness a chance to help break us of simplistic
trend-mapped ways, giving up the prison of the chase for the clothes and
its phase.

The luckiest trails are always by a precipe, and
yet the fall isn't to death, when the spirit is right, just to a
slip into embarrassment and some empty pockets.
The value was something like this: life has destructive
tendencies, and art is life's positive tendency....so work for
art and work for the positive.

The power of being able to write is a costly power but one
which must be
obtained. It can be a method for creating a vision that let's us
see the beautiful and the meaningful. If we cannot see the
beautiful and the meaningful, then our style of living is not in
keeping with the way it must be. We must be seers of the beauty
of heavenly love, how this beauty is society's evolution, evolution
as the sign of the cross, how only suffering greats greatness in seeing
all men as brothers, upholding in our
writing that which keeps the furnace burning and together. We must gain
power by it, yet balanced by the beauty real art gives. We
can make a difference, and we can conquer the millstone of
the bright satanic mills which life creates today. We can add
more beauty to this world, and
that beauty can send a light deep into the soul of humanity.
These are the words that have been too hard to say. Almost
like memories that have been to faint to recall. Yet I know the
words and memories are there if I really want them.

The divine is looking for a saintly joy to dowse, to
twirl, to contemplate, to enlist a spiritual life in the
spiritual fast lane and yet how I now ache: proven, I'll never
make a spiritual life without grace.
How much to pray for a blessing to be bestowed? At least for
the sting of movement in a frozen heart. Miracles done to those
unable to move and then even doubt -- the miracle's agent
forgotten. Flowers are gone yet some hope is clear to be found in
you, only life suffers so.
I'll taste the mornings welfare.

Lines of actions time and days, beautific light, ours in horizon
waves. Pattern of water vapor in mapped vortex haze, silly joys
become us, as materialism we put away. Yet achieving what we will
so we give it away, makes that money that can play.
Magnolia and daffodil frostings. We had days like a million
years a piece. Time was the only thing disposable, not souls.
Childhood awes and hopes. Our invicibility then is reconcilable
with the present. I rotate the spindles of trust evolving into
prayer. Forested polymer antiques whet the glutted cluster of
parallel woodwork.
You might think these were expensive tennis shoes by the way
I wear them out in the star-lit but obscured by daylight streets.
Do you want half my whammy bar, you friend of the earth
beneath, passenger to the star-lit universe friend?
Can do nothing but to keep alive, keeping heart alive, given
what we need to survive, avoiding art-man's diatribe, forced to
earn a ride, had to walk in from the outside but now see we can't
hide, if we've got a lot of poisons inside.
I can't go down sinking, you know? I've just been thinking.
I can't just go down sinking, that sure would be stinking.
I love you, I love you, everything is well accounted for. I
love you, I love you, the works of man made life fast and warm.
The houses in my old home town built a hundred years ago, made me
love you, made me love you. Memories sometimes the only fire in a
cold life. Yet you are a continual bringer of hope, I can feel at
simple, gentle and warm. I have enough resonance to
echo the love you show me; I prayed, "Lord, make us to
have constructive thoughts."
11
You give us wisdom, or give us space, but won't let us
always stay in the same place.
Baby whale maker is beautiful. The problems of Earth are not
of God. He does what He can to help shield us against the
catastrophes sin makes. A tornado is often the only thing that
will remind us of the cosmic, it is an angst machine.
Today is tomorrow. For me, my eyes
Today is tomorrow. Today is eternity.
Self-reliant, the thirst for the future lettting it flow out
again and may never be married get so tired of always trying.
And its over, except for grace and its been dug out but
to go beyond futuristic ecotech dreams and millions of new ideas
and somehow reach out to the silver sun's void to and do and make
conquests and to hate those who ignored me, but not them, just in
myself, how I tolerated it.
Love is growing up all around -- love is, love is, authored.
12
Anyway, that goal that pushed ahead ineffable words, that
goal that killed all hopes for a normal career, that thirst that
made one need unique intoxications, that goal that made us cast a
spell of a golden age upon earth.
13
I love the taste of past, the sweetness buried deep,
different often from now, only its round globe green, white
mountain pounding sky. Alien to all I aquaint myself with, is
that unloving?. Unit soley responsible for its place, sight, and
time, in this life it seems you have to work so hard to do
something good.
If I really love the country I could have the wind in my
hair, the clouds in sight on April's celestial nights. I could
live in the country, if it was all I wanted. But I told myself I
wanted something in the city what was it? I forgot!
Silver rain blossum computer, silver rain, grainy night,
suburban theatre of family blisses, union with society flourishes
higher qualities of the human spirit than angry subversives.
14
I, the fissure in the normal; it, the fissure in the normal,
has created, ruleless, an open boat, aboard, set the sales, blown.
A law is set up to destroy intention, intention of the gilded
hearts, gilded excitment, gilded novelty.
Seen now results of a dozen places of the efforts towards
fastidious uptopia, shaken the heavens to enlighten the
earth. Each thought had to be worthy of containing its blue gem,
or the day was lost. Goals so pristine society shouted "insane!"
Changed the heart, diet and scope.
15
I have tasted and resisted human corruption within
my soul. But it will never overturn me. The dove upholds my soul,
the dove flys down and keeps me whole, like a childhood opera,
a dove, a dove! ....whispers blessings, always spying over
me.
All I ever wanted was love, warm clouds relishing sweet
dreams, it can be so real, passion for all people for all good
things.
I saw nobody was aware of even being alive, of their own
power to stamp out injustice.
Beautific future, red sacks, sacks of red light, carried and
tossed, uncarefully to the ground. This day, this sunshine alien
pinwheels of technology flutter, canvas painted by computer, blend oil
paint plotter, micro strokes revealed, somewhere in space,
somewhere in a place almost like our place. Praise the blessings
of wondrous thought feelings, the tensile strenght of post-now
science truisms. The lord dwells in Praise, so the bible tells me
so. Come back to Christ and sci-fi, eating all modern image
glory, respect of the Universe's love for humanity, trampling on
Pan-religionist fearforms.
Wondrous bird trapped again.....butterflies snorkling
at the speed of highways, oboe strained winds behind them, all
toward positive thinking picnics days in softened sunglight joy
soaked temperatures.
Aerobic thirst quenched by playground games, I saw four adults
play a game of tag. My blood is binding to joy. pastel universe
is becoming coy...forcing education on myself...sun seedline is
splitting.
16
Shipment of energy, personalized gold coast. Anchors, warm
heart-colored instruments. To a poor man's, grapes; to others jewells,
airborne romanticism longing for stratospheric rest. Relaxations
in a heaven of sky.
I developed a map of the potential universe in a way that is
very uncommon. Since I desire eagerly to encounter what the
possibilities of the universe were, and to reach some of that
knowlege, I succeeded at a great feat of imagination. It is rare
and should be appreciated.
Do we attribute an intense afterlife value to the actions
we do during the day?
Heaven and the potential universe, multiple listings of
occupency, manifold viewings a day over billions of years,
aristocratic use of life as a library, and connections of friends
throughout all time. micronosize a meaning for our life on earth.
I had forgotten the blooming ball, radiance of love, that solves
every problem, that soothes every concern, that creates every solution,
that casts out every fear. Love swelling in my mind into my being,
drowning me with my own tears. That even answers a problem of
considering, wondering, criticizing. Casts my glances more into myself to
pray out now I've not forgotten the earth ball of love, indestructable
coating of the planet, cast out torment, cast out fear, why so much fear?
why so much torment? Lack of trust in the universal benefit of focusing
on love, Let your creative life bring everyone and everything to your
door.
