EXPULSION

Perpetual motion of a

Deteriorating orbital momentum,

Perpetual light merely

Depletion of a limited supply:

A constancy only because the

Temporary characteristic extends

Well beyond the brief moment of

Humanity’s reign.

Society provides a dream state placing

Illusory goals as a

Pattern to keep sanity

In the face of the endless cycles unfolding

Since the true consistency: the eternity

Prevailing before the

Expulsion.

A time for living as a single

Experience in repetition,

Soiling the purity of youth.

Despite the saintly example,

Despite the obvious presentation of a

Shallow context,

An eclipse:

The true universe covered in a

Shadow of denial, dark.

Here is a place of mysterious sublimity

Waiting to be seen, yet

The choice of knowledge installs

A mind around sensual soul,

A dreadful curtailment, dark.

And now, an aged fresco captures true perspective:

Accurate depiction of light impacting human form, with

An agony in the face of Eve

Telling the entirety

Of loss of bliss

And acquisition of shame.

A hidden face, Adam in resignation

To endless death.

III

Words dissolve in an atmosphere

Evoking an awesome and horrendous

Descent, from soul to mind.

An artist’s hand renders the

Lesson of a Master.

A purity of expression in

Direct reflection of light,

Formed as image of reality,

It can be seen without

Intervention, Eden lost as

A clear revelation from centuries ago.

Time and political theory,

Relentless in the daily concern, here

Unknown to the appreciative eye.

Exact awareness of the beginning of

Worldly torment

Through a timeless inspiration.

Here and there does not matter

Angelic direction away from eternity

Standing in an eternal posture,

Authoritative and stern.

From innocence of the garden

To a transient nature

Coupling incoherent thoughts to a

Concept of liberation.

We need be still before

The silent sigh freely released

As a puff of fragile air.

HOPE IN THE ANNUNCIATION

The scent of garden path

Begins in one moment of time

A soothsayer predicts,

But it is not what was

Expected.

We have come so very far

To learn we know so very little.

Exploration reveals uncharted space,

Expanding!

All things forever moving further and further

Apart.

There is so much we can tell one another

Before the evening close,

An afternoon stroll along garden path

Let thought of timeless consideration

Overcome reluctance to share

Happiness, Joy.

The poignant Deposition of the promise

Foreshadows

The hope in the Annunciation.

Expression exalted in

Unlikely pink, pale blue and green tones

Surrounding vivid facial images

In support of the finality of perception.

The result of an announcement in casual poise, an

Almost matter of fact ideal to portend a

Seriousness of this life.

For beings of breath within

What appears to be our domain,

A high inducement to strive

Toward maturity, a

Transcendental basis for departure from

Societal rigidity underpinning a

Frigid establishment of love and religion.

III

Maturity in the inner self is the beginning of the message,

To manifest the effort of a lovely desire,

To become that manifestation for the sake of another.

There is no competition, nor mission,

Only eventual escape from

Knowledge of the past moments,

Formed prior to the waiting of a present felicity,

For ever Hope.

The time of unfolding of a biographical tale

Enfolds a teaching of extra biological extent,

Continuing until Time

No longer subsists as an excuse for lighthearted

Adventure.

An epoch of our historical record,

Grasped by learned disciples, and

Codified for mass survival.

From inner sense of need for

Divinity, a discovery of

Life resurrected, announced and quickly

Deposed from our possession.

We need be attentive to the soft

Colors of illumination.
