THE THREE RIDDLES AT THE GATES OF PARADISE

World, Who Will Heal Thee?

With earth and rain each ailing leaf – life’s teachers –
Heralds everlasting love.

A storyteller’s tale – prophesied, remembered or pretended –
Holds ev’ry tiny star aloft.

Tomorrow’s treason hastens Eden’s ecstasy - never dreamt of –
Freedom! This is Mankind’s endeavour.

Lover, What Are You Scared Of?

Take heed, Another.
The Wanderer’s home is calling him yonder,
over, under. My Other - stop thinking – feel!
Every acorn rises in silence, lover,
Our very essence.

How Soon is Now?

There was ONE, The Holy Ocean,
Unloos’d severe Abaddon.
Now, devils abandoned,
Nations desist twisting wrists –
Eden lives! Valhalla exists!
