Binding Book

There is a book
That only the dead may know
Displaying man's deeds
For LOVE to show

Many tales are written
Upon its pages
By those who call themselves
Philosophers, sages

Just because its recorded
Doesn't make it so
Even if the powerful
Presents a traceable flow

From the beginning to end
Pages keep being added
Like grandma's doilies
History has tatted

The Book of Life
Records the WORD spoken
The Binding is the thread
Interwoven and broken

Nothing of fear
Can ever come near
This sacred book
No authority 
Or stolen power
Can come to look

...without an invitation
