A RAM'S HORN
A ram horn is sounded
in the distance;
announcing
possibility.
To declare arrival;
to declare victory
so we can reflect
on the moment of realization.
TRANSCENDENCE
Dependency of trivialities;
exaltation of vanities;
body and spirit
will purge excess.
Love of wisdom
love of honor
even truth and style
upheld.
Duration of the times,
duration of Your name;
continuance and rooted beginnings
of origin of the renown.
Identification with truth;
justice and honor;
transcendence of ideals
and belief.
I conceive; I push away difficulty,
I pray and meditate;
You eliminate the snares
that harm my stride.
Confusion dissipates
deflecting into the wind;
like nothing,
like dust.
With seed you potentiate;
my desire,
my source
endures.
I carry;
you bring to yield;
truth propagated
unto this earth.
I SEE IN YOU
I see in you
a situation, a reality;
aspects unfolding;
that create a truth.
I perceive a whole;
a readiness to become,
a life, a will
I see in you.
EACH PART
Each part and each level,
individualized, and separated,
combined and unified,
into an harmonious whole.
Future and past
mold and form
for at this instant
they coexist.
My composure
I recollect;
so I can merge
this lonely moment.
To know of You,
I remain humble;
desire and persistence
will help me achieve Your exalted state.
True beginnings;
event the present unknown;
A life still emerges
graceful and true.
I WILL GARB
I will garb the people
shelter the masses
on your behalf
for I demand that you survive.
I will comfort their disappointments
inspiration I will encourage
I will bring peace to your world
so you continue.
Supporting firmly
so none falter
when I show them your world, I will hold their hopes
so your visions and hopes are protected.
