the tyger’s retort
“When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?”
The Tyger
William Blake
if you would only listen
to the songs
speaking of the antiquities
from which we have ventured.
long,
ancient pathways,
before gods and goddesses
were named,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
before the world was
an ocean.
we flew over
the vastness of the waters –
the vast abyss
of Reshith.
we looked upon it all,
singing
from its very foundations...
Morning Stars,
pinioned vanity our downfall,
bearing weapons
of enraged blasphemy!
Yes!
he who made the Lamb
made me!

About Me
About me
I like walks at night and stargazing, a good cup of coffee or tea on cold evenings, and reading and writing poetry, religious, spiritual, dark . . . many pages of delineated thought which convey more than ignorance, but less than the secrets of the universe (or not). I'm also very fond of contemplative, relaxing rhythms and sounds formulated into multi-tonal patterns that move me emotionally, stimulate me intellectually, and lift me spiritually.
