Bricks and Feathers
are eagle things
it was noticed
that she didn't take a fall...
the wings in her back
were really God's call
" I was walking
in a very green field
when I saw a bald eagle
who presented a shield...
the lines were fine
and behind them revealed
a blanket of stars
and a riddle of sorts...
it started my heart
so without delay
I seized the day
and found a path
through art "
72 stones on the front
they counted
but around the square circle
are three unmounted
sides...
the eagle offered rides
so I took a quick stair
and circled 9 times
adding feathers to my hair
the count is 12 days
and a 13th layer
but only One God
who called them all hOurs
the eagle nodded
and then she said 'stars'...
feathers
32+33+9 = 74
bricks
72 x 4 = 288 x 74 = 21312 'bacab'
2880 can be minutes in two days
288 can be hours in 12 days
so 21312 / 12 = 1776 / 2 = 888
