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
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
