Naked in Clothes

03 June 2006


Empty was an end
the beginning of a reel
As to a string stretched
knotted to create a net

Entangled within love
an estrangement of opportunity
This door open, but closed
empty was not being full

High upon happiness
or dead to death
Life was about living
only to die was true as well

For what was tomorrow
that other day of the weak
This earth of humility
or just a place naked in clothes


“But the meek shall inherit the earth; and
shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
Psalms 37: 11 KJV

“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
Matthew 5: 5 KJV
