Solomon's House

We met at Solomon's house 
out of the debts of knowledge 
edifying my wisdom bestowing 
self as I saw your manifesting hue 
catering to my inner most thoughts
 
bringing the present clearly into view 
past was simply a notion of what 
I once knew this divine higher being 
consoled me of an uncanny trust
 
uncharted future behold steadfast 
to what I've ever known why I witnessed 
the souls of the empty the empathy 
of lowly thee lack of moral compasses 

of the just I'd wondered away from 
Solomon's house into Jerusalem's 
town square the children of Israel 
cried out to Abraham oh Jacob
 
remembered I as I am began to
covenant my inheritance the spiritual 
sense to see beyond here and now 
reaching for justice within cruelty
