Sink into the bible’s words
Tales on a page as old as the wind
Crash into the rocks of knowing
Hear the alarm call of birds
Taste aniseed and coal
Dream of big bangs, atoms evolving
Greet the stranger, take his hand
Feel your body begin to rust
Look for the warning signs of death
Let your feet sink into the sand
I like the fact that you can read as much meaning into this
as you want to.
Thick and Lovely words you canalmost hold. Win :-)
A life without faith is a scary one indeed. I like the starkness of this and the image of bodies rusting...
Lifes not long enough to find all, is it? I love this thanks, jane
Interesting, a bit of this idea and a bit of that, with enough to make bridges.
I presume you are allowing for extensive 'borrowing' in your claim of biblical tales being 'as old as the wind'. Or do you use 'biblical' in a more austere sense? Still, SPEECH and WRITING are very new in Big Bang Time.

This was taken from a longer piece of work that I edited down. I did try to leave it a little ambiguous.
The longer piece is currently being used as a song with my band John The Baptist. I'll post it up on here soon with the MP3.
