This is the last poem of the Weobaei Series (at least for now), revealing the meaning of Weobaei.  There are seven previous installments.  They build on each other.  

Weobaei - Final Installment

Weobaei is not human flesh
nor is it spirit fine.
Is has to do with selflessness
and touching the Divine.

Weobaei is an instrument
assigned by one above
to instruct in proper increment
unseen wisdom, natural love.

It’s the dew that rises with the sun
from blossomed rosed vine.
It’s the kiss of lips before they touch --
that essence – precognescent wine.

An unseen line which acts on us
without our knowing why
until we see the manuscript  –
results of patterned time.  

A winged word, it is,
it flys where it is blown.  
It brings us threads of revelation.
It bears our souls thru tribulation;
it’s breathless in its utterance.
It represents a countenance --
directed, guided presence.
This essence, Weobaei – we obey.
Not because we want or think to,
just because we do.

Manaeshte, too, a word of few,
holy perfect sum,
reveals His meaning in many forms
Manaeshete is just one.

Omapahista, what is that,
you ask with puzzled eyes.
For me, it means the helpers –
angels in disguise.

Just so you know, I'm searching out all of these poems, and I'm going to put them together in a single file. They're masterful, and I want to have them together where I can read them all back-to-back.

You read before you words I write-
See before you my soul,
spinning on  waves of thought,
painting memories of time

This is beautiful...right on the money and so true...the struggles within us are caused by us...in contempt of this..and those that wish not to believe, wish not to mend their woven path...the more we fight it, the more we decay our karma and the karma of others.  I liked this entire image...it is indeed brilliant!

iliana,
   I wanted to bring the whole series together, but I see some are still in #30.
It has been well worth reading, a treasure!  Happy Easter to you and family.
