Wisdom lead me through the verdant paths<\/p>\n
Past the barns and the ancient warehouses<\/p>\n
To the redundant church where my ancestors lay<\/p>\n
In their blissful tombs lit by subterranean lights<\/p>\n
He said that I should sing on the makeshift stage<\/p>\n
Which was impossible because I had no earthly voice<\/p>\n
So the assembled would only hear<\/p>\n
The silence of my melodies<\/p>\n
There were only two exits to this ancient church<\/p>\n
The southern clouds which promised rain<\/p>\n
I had a sudden desire to see a holy man<\/p>\n
Or be an iron bar covered with rust<\/p>\n
Cross legged he floats like bird on wing<\/p>\n
And then it was time to leave and sail away<\/p>\n
From this unsubstantial river church<\/p>\n
Where acts of worship ceased many years ago<\/p>\n
I will lead a moral life or so I am told<\/p>\n
Fine medicines will be constant companions<\/p>\n
As the lotus flowers will remain unsaturated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
