where ever the fly fishing is good

Upon my return home you tried to stike a deal.
but my thumb will not meet your knuckle
in sacred rite of deal. My wounds may never heal.
Your threats will not make me buckle
no matter the loss or life you steal.
You speak of hidden knowledge
forbidden except for the select few.
As you are true stewards of its light.
But if a flame is entombed
and further embodied by darkness
won't the flame then be snuffed out
(or is that the point)
by the time you reach that of 32.
For upon that of 33
you will meet the elders of 3
and answer 3 questions of thee.
Only one answer will take you
beyound that of 33.
You disagree,
look again.
Since day one
its been a secret
code that unravels
as a rite of passage.
Funny how the secrets
you keep from the knowledge
of man have secrets in themselves kept from you.
Your guild you encompass and inscribe
in your heart as a temple of free.
But still my brother your are a slave
decieved just as the outside is looking in.
Yes I see her hold the torch
while the young and old carry her
and engrave her on thier rings.
Truly she does rule land.
Enjoy it while you can.
For the age of noble dark will not come
as you see it revealed in the light of darkness.
Forgive me if I offend but I cannot travel
the tunnel you have shown.

An intriguing write, 'dubby' soulfisher.
Still pondering this, which requires a cup of strong java and another read. I must be asleep, or just ignorant, but I haven't locked onto the significence of the 3's. It's not quite 6AM here, and my head just hit the pillow after midnight.


*now that I've had one cup of coffee and a moment to surf on my keyboard
Guess it's all about biblical numerology, and the New Covenant Church of God.
According to the website I read, it refers to #3 as being a representation of the Godhead, Divine Protection. OK, that makes SOME sense, tho I am not Christian. Without wanting to offend, I have to tell you, this group makes me shudder. It's the same faith group that was constantly 'after my soul' according to my daughter. She asked me what was wrong with her soul. I replied "NOTHING" and meant it 100%. My experiences with MOST of the members I met were spooky at best, as I find their tactics and biblical rigidity negatively impact all free-thinkers.
Dang, and here I thought I'd just read some poetry.
A good stimulating write, soulfisher.
