Circumfrance
9-4-15


Whose trust be as the spider's web
Like the tide yet to flow and ebb
Whose hope shall be cut off like a pruned branch
According to the Rhind papyrus
And all of these literary and poetic treasures we are entitled to
Of the great pyramid of Gaza
So are ones infinite pleasures
With a purpose to measure the land
And come to be as one to understand
Put me in my box out on highway twenty-four
You said that I wouldn't understand
I cried in laughter "Madness!"
O, what does it accomplish...








Life, But A Handbreadth
9-4-15


In a fortress strong
O, have I joined the dark side
O, have I gone wrong
O, have I chosen over love my pride
For words as working tools
And birds that sing to the wise as well as fools
As surely as the hands and eyes
And the truth just as relevant as the lies
Bringing all the good things out in me
Another red leaf for God's purpose dies
Start with what you can grasp
And befriend your adder and asp
A line of thirty cubits compass round about
If you hate it then blame Euclid
And pass on through...












It Shall Stand
9-4-15


Brim to brim, five cubits height
Hate not your brother without a cause
You don't like the sound and sight
I'll tell you further on up the road
And we will yet reconcile
I believe in a better place
I believe in God's love and grace
He builds a molten sea of ten cubits
He shall lean upon it but it will topple over
I searched once my heart to gratify my flesh with wine
And I begged for an auspicious sign
He that is green before the sun
And his branch shoot forth in his garner
O, I beg your pardon....












On Job 8:18 (check it out)
9-4-15


Paradoxes, eagles and foxes
I manage the problems I lay upon myself
Indeed it was vanity and grasping for the wind
Does this depress you?
I apologize two hours before the sunrise
His roots are wrapped about the heap
And we can see the place of stones
Everything worked out when I put it into the hands of God
If he destroy him from his place
Then it shall deny him
Saying I have not seen thee
There is a man whose labor is for knowledge
Yet we must one day leave it all behind
No one exempt....
