Silence
Timeless waiting
Rushing water
Suspended in ether
The calling of angels
The cradle of God
Outgrown

The lesser God
The mother's milk
Suspended in flesh
Melodious voices
Replacing the song
Of angels and ether
And objective love

The false God
The wanting
The trying
The failing
The short
Temper
Of reality

Calling to the cradle
Savoring the waning time
Searching for lost angels
Forgetting their faces
Forgetting their names
Waiting for their voices
Calling back home


Outgrown
The rushing time
The calling of temptation
The timeless waiting
The hold of flesh
To the silence and
The cradle of God
