I Waged a War of Words 
   that became a War of Worlds
      that became a War
         that became
            and then Just Was.
I Saged a love by Words
   that became the love of Worlds
      that became a love
         that became
            and then
I Aged a World of love 
   that became a love Wild
      that became a love
         that became
            a child
I Raged a World of Numbers
   that became a World of letters
      that became a World
         that became
            a Song
I Maged a Word of mind
   that became a Body of thine
      that became a World
         that became
            Just in time
i gauged a light of source
   that became a fateful choice
      that became a fate
         that became
            Rejoice!
I caged a Week of Days
   that became a Week of years
      that became a Week
         that became 
            God Song tears
i Aged eternal and slept awhile
   i awoke to the music echo
      in the cave of craze
         in the cave
            i sang
i forgot the words were mine
   i forgot ever thine
      i forgot to pay
         i forgot and now
            i pray
i raised a world of ghost
   i chased a world of dream
      i cased the world of seam
         i lazed an empty beam
            i heart host
lo! now do i hear the rifle call
    echoing my names---how
    the memory falls---how
    we lose it all, somehow,
    we lose it all---and how
    we find it all again
we find each other, we lose each other; 
we shall find each other again. 
   husband and wife, 
   brother and sister, 
   friend out of friend---
                   the river flies out, 
and we loop around the bend

ReplyDeletethose autumns and winters
ReplyDeletecame and went
the passing of a cigarette
the body’s aged
though has not grown old
the mind of fire cannot be spent
though many slumber by a mage
their fortunes pale to purpose bold
a serpent king his dragon cold
we have no end of memory
we have too all springs and summers
we are the sun power eye
where a drake begets a king serpent
where God is my Light
kneels the rose child
to set commanding gaze
against the realm of gold
Jackstaff of All Time
does fly a Jack
tread not on a coil
lest your seas should not be calm
lest your winds should not follow
lest your seas should boil
lest your winds not carry you on
tomorrow
