The Sphnx's Rddle....Pt.2

As the pensive endure chaotic variance
Hope rules supreme toward Heaven's ambiance
awaiting the crumbling of darkened towers
...even they must face the final hour

Pathway of the chosen purposivly gleaned
glory to be crowned by the highest esteemed
laid out in Quarters,marked by degrees,
slowly artisaned like golden filigree

With the body of a Lions voracious appetite
curbing it's rapacious need,to feed and fight
begins the first quarter of disciplining pride
as the anguish of shame begins to subside

With the heart of a Bulls conflicting irrationality
deviating it's higher formed sensibility
begins the second quarter of reasons understanding
as the languidness of doubt dissolves angers maddening

With the head of Man now filled with grace
inferior things no longer trace
begins the third quarter as higher intelligence found
harmonious order become Heavenly sounds

With the wings of an Eagle soon to take flight
as the Phoenix's re-birth toward golden heights
ends the fourth quarter made amiable to Divine propriety
most certainly welcomed into Heavenly society

The Sphinx being the symbol of composite whole
homeward bound is the goal of the soul
earthbound the body is it's terrestrial nature
heavenbound the spirit is it's true filial nature...

     ~~~~~~~~~~~

as the rejected cornerstone,
the perfect cube,
what was Jesus's objective,
the miracle of walking on water?

...sink or swim,

you cannot build a strong foundation,on the pathway of doubt...
