and carried out
like a prayer
an offering
to the...

Blank SlateWhat a wonder! Nothing was written! Absolutely free!
Bee, sea, tree - I can create whatever I want to see.
Receptively blank as the almighty designed it well,
It can in each sketch His miraculous mysteries spell...!

Cul De SacA story should I tell you; not an ancient one,
Modern men too in their madness how from truth shun;
Cultures changes; how lives, like ghosts, yet, blind beliefs!

Put into words?
Is it the breadth of his shoulders?

We experience time in expanding space.

warring, sick
unilateral demands,
our tainted will
saturated...
