And the greatness of his many empires and cities thereof,
In the building and the tearing down – and again in the building,
And of the many temples, and of the many kinds of worship.
So that he feels the need of something greater than all this ~
For while he doth have eyes, he walketh blindly,
And that with his ears he heareth not, things from the Spirit.
And of all coming and going,
It is but the outward creation, of that which is within,
And so that there passeth much time.
Before the altar of his own life;
That he seeth all things, and heareth all things
Which are of Creation.
