Dear Brother

Dear Brother, 

The men have gone astray.

They worship thoughts;

They brood in the dark;

Yet do not pray.

They ponder how,

But never why.

If they but ask,

They'll hear no lie.

With knowledge, they believe they're set free.

Have they forgotten the snake and the tree?

Do you remember the words of our father?

'Reason is a tool. 

Don't let it make a fool.

Where knowledge fails, 

Wisdom lights the way.'

Carnival

In his cunning, he built a carnival

And rubbed his hands.

'See them smile, 

As the glass trickles its sands.'

Colours move - mesmerise - entrance.

Win gold! 

In thrilling games of chance.

Taste the sweet - the savoury - the feast.

Take a ride!

Upon 'Devouring Beast'.

Clock the ticking

Of the track up the spire.

Feel alive!

As the roller coasts higher.

A moment's clarity

At the apex of the climb.

Before insight,

The Fall.

Killing Time.

Eden

Our capacity for love and creation

Is but a glimmer upon the surface of the Source,

Whose depths plunge down to the foundations;

Then up the Mountain, 

To feed the rivers, 

To cut their course.

With passion they pour to four corners,

Nourishing the soil of our fields, 

Where hope sprouts endless potential.

Mark the beauty of love's humble yields.

Kingdom

Wake me from my sleep.

Keep the earth beneath my feet.

Lead me not to despair,

But to the beauty of life laid bare.

Let me feel the burn

Of the love for which we yearn.

Harden my feet for the road.

Soften my heart for the story.

Fix my eyes on the path

To the kingdom, 

Through the power,

In glory.
