Man Seeks To Catch The Thread Of Angels

Man seeks to catch the thread of angel’s sleep
For prosperity and fair attainment.
While absent gleaning night, the day now keeps.
The sun drapes the sky in her choice raiment.

Warned from practical cares the dreamer shows
That he is the thief of heaven’s desire.
Cloaked in pathos and with patience he knows
That to Septuagint man must aspire.

When man and sun and dreamer then unite
The senses see beyond the mind’s measure.
They wear one garment, a legacy’s sight
Plundered from God’s own involute pleasure.

The chambers divide despite one vision
Is it heaven’s dream, or just man’s prison?

Another good one! I like the last verse

The chambers divide despite one vision
Is it heaven’s dream, or just man’s prison?

This is an excellent part!

Thanks guys. I never know if I've posted something or not, and I am not around as much as I'd like.
