PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB
Sshhhh. He's sleeping. The boy
must get some rest.
A weekend on the go, has left him tired and stressed.
Talk to him tomorrow when he wakes up quite refreshed.
Disturb him now and he will be, nowhere near his best.
Sweet dreams dear boy.

SNOWING DOWN SOUTH
Women in my childhood days,
Wearing longish dresses;
Older sisters on Sundays,
My memory refreshes;
Unwanted whiteness,
Their petticoats are showing;
Necessary politeness,
Tells them where it's snowing.

AWARENESS OF ETERNITY
You seem to understand the concept of eternity fairly well, and you have philosophically accepted the reality of eternity with good grace, but have you experienced the influence of eternity?
I know you meditate and make plans, of course you have to do this. One day at a time is all you ask, and that is a fair request. The bus ride into the city, the walk in the park, the crowds of people milling around, the sights and the sounds, the smells and the sensations, these occupy your mind for a while, but on their own they do not lead you to an awareness of eternity.
In this life you are in fact a newbie to eternity, the awareness of it that is, and like any newbie the one thing you lack most is experience.
I know that at first you didn't like to think about this concept of something existing with no beginning or ending, something that has no natural mid-point and no before and after, but now you concede that the reality of this vast continuum is bigger than anything your mind has the ability to comprehend and this is an excellent foundation upon which to build your experience.
I was able to watch you struggling with the burdensome expectations placed upon you at an early age, and I saw you falter and fail under them many times because of their weight and awkward dimensions.
But now I am pleased to see that you have learned to carry these expectations with ease and style, and I notice with approval that you have learned the fine art of balancing the pain of persecution with the pleasure of popularity.
It is expected that at some point in time you will die whilst unstoppably the influence of eternity upon you will continue forever. I have in many ways told you much about this, and it seems logical to me that if before your inevitable death you have already experienced the influence of eternity upon you then you will not be completely unprepared for its unfettered ambiance.

4 GIVING THEM
We once were friends
But are no more,
Our friendship lost
In silly war.
By rising up
To conquer me,
Each one now is
An enemy.
Who drew first blood
And used their guns?
I could insist
They were the ones.
Be first to love
Those enemies,
Forgiving them
These memories.

Be first to love
Those enemies,
Forgiving them

SPEAKING OF SAGES
When keeping watch over empty spaces -
Let riddle and rhyme be a sign of the time.
When thrown across many mad generations -
Let puzzle and pun help the emperor's son.
When meeting with those who forfeit forgiveness -
Let metaphor be the heart of the matter.
When sagely reigning in power and pain -
Let allegory clothe both former and latter.

SHARPER
Almighty God Eternal
Creator Of All Things
Saviour Sovereign Redeemer
King Of All Those Who Are Kings
Jesus Christ Emanuel
Lord Of All Those Who Are Lords
Word Of God In Splendour
Sharper Than All Other Swords.
