In the Blink of an Eye There Shall Be Those Who Seek Guidance
A Poem
Clay feet gain no ground
The untrained eye desecrates the deific
Consciousness poured into the cistern
Sifted and shaken and rolled together
An indifferent affront
What does this mean, you say?
Look beyond the veil and you shall see
Were we to say pressed down and shaken together
Then would the conclusion be apparent
A convulsive humanism led to slaughter
Reviled among the cosmic yet adored against the divine
There is no reason here, dear child
Look not to my face for consensus
Nor seek my voice for confirmation
Yet there be glimmer of glimmer, and sheen of sheen
The rest of rest and the solace of solace
Do you call this hope? Poor deluded child
May it be ever so in the bosom of imagining
Or even the counsel of the ages
You shall seek and find, knock and enter
For the view is broad, and the door is hollow
About the Creator
Daniel Cole
Author and artist, I'm finding my spirit again late in life. Old passions for poetry borne of love, loss, hope and pain, things with which everyone is familiar.
