april songs: elements of life 4
april song 14—pebbles
lo, the life that's full of foibles
is a tableland of pebbles,
over which must flow the river
of the Maker and the Giver
of the virtues of sound wisdom,
and the blessings of the Kingdom.
life is but a full baptism
in the ism and the schism
out of which is crowned the oyster
with distinction, in the cloister
of the madness of the wind-rush
that assails the soul in ambush.
every pebble is a token
of the rock, once solid, broken,
till the confluence of pieces
once again the whole releases.
