"o Tangle Webs"

Free Verse Rhyme O tangle webs began to weave At once when Eve began to leave Her Adam heart of sacred start From the heart of his male Love expelled The meld of soul and mind the male's fe-male Since then in earth things have not gone well Cause of mind’s whim sacred light began to dim The counterfeit mother sought the fig leaf cover As Adam followed close behind and sought another O the serpent mind began it’s whine As strife began to climb it’s twisted vine Like a mistletoe of sorts, unholy start O but fields be white with specks of light The scattered cotton of First Begotten Though the golden hue be very few Flesh shall pass on but flowers are gathered Out of the twisted vines where they be tethered Twist and turn O vines of wrath writing your own epitaph `Tis by words of life souls remove themselves from strife O but the city of lights shall be in spite of night A better state as hate abates with it’s gates As the inner weave of words in rhyme Shall resist the bitter twist of time Being not of the twist of carnal mind Embittered souls make you your peace For love has provided heaven’s yeast Accept life by Love’s new lease From Love your own lease Go in bitterness or peace `Tis by your own choice... you shall release! 12-6-09 johnmosesfreeman

I choose to go in "peace," Moses. There's a lot of irony in the comparison of the serpent's twisted vine to mistletoe. Sin has been with man from this first moment because lust and love are so often confused. 'Tis a tangled web we weave, is it not, but we must maintain hope that we will find that ultimate peace within heaven's gates. Great work! Love, Carolyn
