On the Sabbath God Sabbath The command to rest a shadow A cessation of earthly works Today, as Everyday, is Sabbath A return to Eden: Adam restored For the Sabbath was made for Adam And the Son of Adam the Gardener Sabbath is the work in Eden So we too on Sabbath, Sabbath

Sabbath
Without bloatedness and drunkenness Without limits of time, space, and matter Without gluttony, nor appetite, nor necessity You shall feed for the purest pleasures On food angels will discard their wings for And be mortal men for a sight and a whiff Thus man was made eating and drinking The unseen universal sign of communion

Eucharist
Walking on air in surreal lightness Light ordinary but strangely bright Sight, all detailed and instantaneous Breath, aromatic and flavourful The constant Presence present An affirmation, certainty more certain And on waters you shall walk And mountains heed your voice And all beasts find rest in you In reverence to the Son of Man The Lord of the Sabbath in his place

On Wings of Man
Given and giver known but a gift unacceptable Offensive, repulsive, and stumbling, but good Unknown and perhaps unknowable, how can it be? Not for delightful display of pleasure and gain But ignored, hidden, forgotten, most shameful And only bewilderment, pain, anger, and questions But in flesh, the Voice understands, and speaks Saying, "You are beloved," but alas only anguish! How can it be? How can it be!? How can love be! So strange unlike any believed in the world As thorns stripped of the roses more desired Or robbed and exiled a kindness most exalted Who prays for an incomprehensible gift returned Who rather a soulmate's help than hear the Voice And mortal comforts than seeing fearsome eternity But as breathe compelled so too acceptance Of an irrevocable gift most uncommonly good Inescapably tearful, trembling, and bowed, walk Thus acknowledged by a freedom most feared And to sacrifice as Abraham ascended Moriah A thanksgiving most honoured and accepted

THANKSGIVING
Searching to and fro, frantic for knowledge Not for its sake but for ours in others' eyes A furious horseman riding hard, driven By ancient whisper, resonant in our being A wake of destruction: death and progress Blind to mind's eyes sight of mysteries Is a recent gift poured out on all man

The Fourth Horseman
The greater the subtlety the sharper the sword to be. The more thorough and dispersed the mixing, The more natural and justified as in familial bonds, The greater the violence and opposition in separation. Thus a sword, a most sharp sword, to part the dawn— Separating Day from Night, Light from Dark, and Truth from Truth

Edge of Dawn
The fourth day, the sun shines, a shadow of unseen Light Of light and dark, day and night, revealed and yet hidden That oceans are opaque and deepest earth yet hides And know that eyes deceives and fear is wisdom The fourth day, of mercy, now, and judgement to come Adam lived, evenings and mornings, mercy daily recalled Longsuffering for the oppressed and patience for their oppressors A clarion call, of atonement and fulfillment, of now and not yet The fourth day, time, times, and half a time, middle of seven As seven is the middle of twelve, which is a hidden seven Revealing Creation days and Natural days, wheel within wheel As sun and moon, with same light, mark days in days The fourth day, of revelation, of foreshadows and foreshadowings Of mutual witnesses twice repeated, a fourfold symmetry Of four horns and craftsmen, of four Jerusalems and Armageddons Three have passed, and the last to echo the beginning

The Fourth Day
Inscribed in the palms of his hands Fortified and secured in the highest A soul wearied by lies and injustices And prideful boasts' unceasing sneers In pain and utter terror now watch The wind blows, the flood sweeps And the fire burns, and the wicked pray To be raptured from their sins and filth But mocked and prayers turned to curses And from embittered hearts vile evil flows Against each other in mutual annihilation Thus cleansed and good inherits the Earth

Catabasis
Why is life measured in years and not living? Long years and truly life, uncorrelated Age and wealth, mere numbers, not significance Whereas transcendence and becoming is The old was yesterday, the new reborn daily More than the sum of all you were, and more Every day a new world, walked with new eyes With ancient soul, and even more ancient spirit Seeing from the end to the beginning, and beyond Insatiable but there is yet sleep, and tomorrow Today, a life fully lived, and ancient evermore aged Eternal life beckons, and tomorrow We walk, again And We walk not alone, but as One The unseen truly real not that seen

Life Lived
I'm in awe of the hands that move I run freely, carelessly from sight to sight Without coherence without deliberations Yet in an instance, perfection coalesce Wondrous beauty without intent crafted Yet I see all of myself in all its facets A gift of grace, of grace upon grace The ecstasy of ecstasies, the joy of joys
