~The “Divine Kingdom”~

If any one should wish to get “The Divine Kingdom” for “self”

And to effect this by what “self” does for the expected “wreath”-

***** will not succeed at both.

The “Divine Kingdom” is a “Spirit like Thing” or path

And can’t be got by “active doing” in sooth!

***** who would so win it-destroys it;

***** who would hold it in his/her grasp-loses it

 

Who knows his “manhood’s strength”

Yet still his “female feebleness” maintains;

As to one “channel” flow the “many drains”

All come to him/her-yeah! All beneath the sky

Yet still many continue to ask of “The Void”-Why?

Thus the constant excellence retains

The simple “Indigo Child” again-free from all “stains”

 

Behold…..

 

The course & nature of things is such that-

What was “in front” is now “behind”

What was warmed anon-we freezing find,

Strength is of weakness on the toil;

The store in ruins mocks our toil

The soft overcomes the hard-

The weak surmounts the strong

And the “magnificent castles” are revealed from the “morning fog”….
