The Low and High Path

Poetry from UFirl#57 the Mystery of the 4 Cherubim & The Monastic Oaths

The Low and High Path, some blank verse read in the intro of the latest live show UFirl#57 the Mystery of the 4 Cherubim & The Monastic Oaths (the stream is cued up below if you’d like to hear it verbally performed)

The Pull of Everydayness
Forced on-to its path
The Clock that strikes “efficiency”
A work not of our own

A crossroad comes,
Another Path?, 
Expected, Not
His music calls:

“Away from that provoking!
Away from that which seeks
Away from that which makes thou cogs,
In its forlorn machine”

“Find the wondering path of Mine
Find the cock that crows”
Find the golden music
Of My Angeloi that call”

“Their intuition sent,
Their inspiration felt 
Their feeling thick within the heart
That later grounds the Sun”

“They go their way along with thee,
Good company they keep
They speak in silent voice to thee
Take the wandering path with us!

Delay and dwell, Speaks our Lord!...
Take not, that straight dead path,
Watching clocks of Slavers Time!
To low efficiency!”

“But dwell, dwell, dwell with us,
On the wandering paths
Called by our music, hence
Finding Him, in depths of Heart.”

"Dwell and see My miracle
Carve out sacred time and space
Keep My clock in barren days, 
A daily wall of prayer and praise”

“Keep the fallen technics out.
Crass quantity laid low
Sojourn with Me, O’ Child of mine,
Become, become, now Home”

Amen.
