Poem of The Alephbet
Poem of The Alephbet
את
There were souls adrift
waking from the darkness
and seeking to learn
and drawn to a teacher
who taught them about
the building of beauty
and how its resources
were from the one and only
place of treasure
and how in beauty’s building
it laboured to learn
seeking to secure its foundation
through the designs
that were found for it
also in that one and only
place of treasure
and how beauty sought
by building itself up
according to the design it found
in the place of treasure
to become pillars and posts
for the doorway into heaven
The teacher opened the eye of the soul
and showed it how
that beauty was fashioned into a prayer
like a door
attached to its pillars and posts
and opening from below to above
when the fine tears of hope
sharpened and moved its spirit
so that beauty’s secret
was concealed and revealed
what was above was below
and what was below was above
for beauty's branches blossomed below
when her prayer
anchored her roots in the truth above
and in seven days
beauty’s gift was given
Then the teacher showed the souls
how the face of beauty radiated
and the souls were stirred and excited
and they ceased drifting
and gathered together to learn
then understanding was given to them
and a spring of beauty was born in them
a song of the seasons of beauty
arose from them
their hearts beat to the rhythm of beauty
and opened as one heart
bearing the fruit
of the Tree of Love
Then the souls knew
the love of the Building of Beauty
and their knowledge was a new prayer
pleading with praise
for the peace of beauty
to crown and comfort their teacher forever
