Fools’ Bumbling

On ancient grounds tread modern feet
Of peasants, knaves and lords by other names.
River flows untroubled by men on the street
Unlike hearts of men torn by silly games.

Past and present indistinguishable
But by sound, hoofbeats to rumbling
Of wheels, the bruit considerable
All to advance fools’ bumbling.

  1. Quiet return

    Love treading, sweet truth filled footsteps fall
    Descending, restoring, sanctity of soil.
    Untroubled river released, quiet return of flow
    Hearts lift up, no vanity seen.

    Present, received thankfully, indistinguishable
    Sound of rumbling stilled
    Glorious heaven returns
    Purposeful presence, rediscovered.

    Ah, we seem but part of a lineage, a continuum. The chain can be broken if we’ll listen for the Angel’s directives. Let Heaven chart our course!

    Thanks Gregg, I often feel the need to tread softly upon the Earth, to walk in other words with reverent steps, aware of the great privilege we have of been here.
