A Wisp of Air...

                                                                                                                         
Encased within the travelled chest a treasure rare
Of un-pillaged plunder wrapped in coats of skins
The key the map the compass for the find were there
In Everland hid the fragrant heart at one with God

Script in sand engraved through fire in glass
Carried timeless in its heart its secret fold of words
Engrafted life encoded in living jars of clay
As see-through as a wisp of air in nothingness clad

 A stone was thrown and broken light spilled out
Of a perfect fashioner the hurt of every jar
How else escaped the light that left buried deep would die?
If scattered only by a tear it could forge of life its seal

Of each season borne the life produced twelve fruits
Green leaf in drought up-springing joy in dearth
 Living letters were inscribed inside in every hue of gold
And shades of shadows left went no more right through

Belts that tie the windless horn to its strength
Held in dust the captured message from the dawn of time
Bound in glory wrapped in living skins of hope
Cords of love the tie that kept the unfathomed dust afloat  

Within the sea of life the hidden script was laid
 A word to grind the jars their light in dust to leave
Once pride was lost then upon every hill a thing of praise 
And the more did broken-open letters fly in scrolls of flesh
