I see sleep combing the hair of passion Words becoming cannons of power Dangers came thru that torn front door Along with some voice of temptation But the Metaphysical rules ingrained and I Ate them like a drum that beats In the ear of life, and reason Oh Spirit of time, releases new metaphors Even though roads grow long grey thoughts Theology speaks in our decomposed minds Free-will is the order of nature purified Suffering begins a new clean boulevard It is a poor thing to refuse old books To ignore those landscapes is to Corrode in the moments of time Where rumors stumble into fixed tomorrows Blending with a gaze of ancient songs Long formulas of teaching How the last night of longing begins Old hearts dream of courage while combing the hair of passion |

Old books. My forte! I derived an education by the way of old books, Lee. Thank you. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
