Rebirth By Tweestead by tweestead: 5:26pm On Aug 01, 2015 |
In the first days, long before grace slipped When the celestial radiance shone on all A time when the inside of man was filled with peace and honour And walked in the company of God When all of the world was ours to share And nothing was lost Now the heaven looks upon the vile earth Upon the brute beasts, the heart of its creation All covered in mire; stained, impure and unclean Having permitted themselves to accusation Enveloped in stint wisdom Bitterly man spites Lacking faculty, no vision Weak and weary he gapes With no rest for rage nor Love for laughter Possessed by foulness and furious strife Pride has magnified his folly And sensible reason exiled What if there was to be a new beginning A whole new course, a new progression and order When the musical sky, the planets, and galaxy of opera stars, and all elements of life be changed Such that we could embrace all things, however infinite, minute or indivisible Where chance is no more and gift of choice is abolished When in spirit's fullness, we sit upon the central pivot of mediation Supreme mind is free of movement to rise above fate's necessity As our consuming flames transcend through the etherics To lasting city of the before before Our souls become attuned with the rhythms and vibrations of the ancient sages who understood all by navigating genesis The rabbis who wrote new chronicles to life The son of Hebron whom have found a good resting place Who lay pure and unsuffered Sleeping the sleep of the just Turning and tumbling in glory The Righteous gentiles whom have been welcomed into an evergreen elysium, enjoying the plume of sunshine never aging I tell you friends; the old love can be ours again to keep.
