Soft linen of death ordains me Places I didn’t see or know Merely a completion, for death is alive Now caressing my bones Treasury resides In the heart of my essence And the Father of my Church Craftily interprets Smooth believable simple things Clothed in brass, mixing diamonds I wonder if when we reference this purpose Letting go for a while of all thoughts Enjoining mental stimulation And some good old fashioned enjoyment do we self examine? To avoid the abyss of lost madness, lost hopes Patience sees all Exposing the bogus Which to us might be at the time, unknown? For the sake of love, for the sake of that core, It’s our charge to absorb & know There is nothing that hides which Will not been seen. Building no pretenses or false dreams How hungry are we, what are we looking for? Others fabulously describe the passion The restoration of extreme agony of mind Sweetness resolves in this absolute thing Without forming any difficulties We must be within a substance of our own Not conjured or overblown But in accord with prudent forethoughts Out of gratitude serves a countenance Beauty of being, establishing a bright affirmation of rest Reveals a kindly spirit, on which we all at first touch Attending to each other, in expressing potentials Considering the goals of their name Rendering equal in desire to preserve order Simple desires to investigate nature In a kind way with no wishes to obtain For their existence is as important & of the same Doctrines we’ve known for years will blend and curve and smile Listening to their grace, perhaps similar or equal It is simply their generations passed on I want to view you in the twelfth hour as I did in the first Proceeding with no baseless speculations flowing forth We will at times be separated in passions With the flowing immensities of some doubt But we can mold and birth an untimely parent Sensible forms of progress Which will once again reflect some light? That we thought had forsaken us I was left alone in the mist, in bewilderment But now, I'll not be in love with falsehood Where a liquid of substance derives its own fountain I’m here from the tears and perspiration of misdirected hypothesis My own….needs, do they match yours? Without so much compromise…I wish to know your accord Where are your thoughts tonight? What are your emotions? Can my image be, what you’d always hoped it would be I am from dust, from times of darkness and light Melding me into something that I hope will bless your likeness Can I walk with you towards your goals? Will you stand by mine? Are we fully acquainted with mother earth? And how to make her shine? An we, you and me, create our own world Beginning with a free mind, with simultaneous inspirations Rendering us at the same time? |

Lengthy, yet excellent in every way as usual! Grover. |
