on God - David

Who exists in all times, on all planes

Feels the pulse of wing and wind as geese migrate on their northern southern circuit

Resides in the depths of atlantic trenches where fish swim bone blind and cold

But the dark is not dark to him and the cold current ranges round him warm like a song

He is the alchemist in whose being all extremes reconcile

Past, future, all points east and west become in his hand brothers, sisters, lead from gold

He is the contest

And the prize

The conquest and peace

The pacifist, who weaponless, wages war and wins

The warrior, who armed, lays down his sword and dies.

He is the youth so pure in wisdom his hair bleaches itself white as a sign for all the foolish to see

So ancient his footsteps can only be measured in the lifespan of the stone upon which he walked.
