Today | 1 |
Bradin, bless his 1, 3 and 5 a.m. wakings | 2 |
rolled onto his tummy for the first time, | 3 |
freed his arm , and lay there.... | 4 |
Bryanna discovered the joys of singing | 5 |
and clapping to nursery rhymes. | 6 |
How she wished she knew the words! | 7 |
Shelley beavered on with her dolls house project | 8 |
all M D F and holes. | 9 |
She has completed two children since starting. | 10 |
Myself, having coffeed my way out of | 11 |
a feeding fog, and marginally minded the kids, | 12 |
mused over God and Evil... | 13 |
| |
...I ensensed a world where | 14 |
perfection and goodness were all. | 15 |
Everything was like air, | 16 |
invisible, tasteless, odorless, quiet, | 17 |
pressing and perfect. | 18 |
Pressing but unfelt, | 19 |
senses and soul undisturbed. | 20 |
| |
The myriads genuflected godwards | 21 |
oceans to the moon | 22 |
in unison, unknowing, unaware. | 23 |
God, though the creation was good, | 24 |
got bored. | 25 |
Chaos, fear and evil were unleashed | 26 |
from a dusty niche of the pantheon. | 27 |
| |
The myriads, though mostly confused, | 28 |
now knew choice. | 29 |
At last they could know God. | 30 |
How much sweeter | 31 |
they surrender in obeisance. | 32 |
