A Time of Sensory Elapsement

A TIME OF SENSORY ELAPSEMENT

I lifted my head to see,

And what was it that caught my eye?

But the tail feathers of life,

As the seasons went dancing by.

I opened my ears to listen,

And what was it that I did hear?

But the rustling of winded time,

And the departure of another year.

So I reached out with both my hands,

And what was it my fingers caressed?

But the emanations from years gone past,

And enraptured memories of happiness.

I liberated my lips apart,

And what was it this aperture savored?

But the spice my life has possessed,

And flaming rainbows that never wavered.

I now evince my sense of smell,

And what is that aroma I perceive?

It is the imminent approach of our Bridegroom,

Coming to Rapture those who believe.

May it finally be so -- Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!!!

Humbly
