The Opera in Disguise

Looking is easy, seeing can hurt.

Singing and dancing

Here they come

Here they are, ready for action

Moving in circles

Born for each other

Conjoined in progression
Stoic in progress
Tethered together, in sound and in view
In congress, now and for ever;

Always progression

Spiralling change, it cannot know any other
The story unfolds

Ten characters strong
Serving Life and no other

With You at the centre

All now around you

From above to below, power does reign

From below to above, is the basis for growth

And the reason for change.

The Father of Will and the Mother come first

A Messenger close, close-by to be heard

Love nor money can stand in the way

Warlike passions gifted and readied

Responsibility raised, responses awaited

A world full of plenty, a Universe of one voice
Abundance assured with Creation

Rights and wrongs with choices to make

Restrictions and limits

Always there as a guide but never the measure

Deceptions made easy, real eyes refrained.

What is real? And what is perception?

Superficial or deeper

Of Spirit and matter

One cannot be, without other

Thus it is said,

Trees bound for Heaven 
Retain roots bound in Hell

Free Will at your mercy, 

With just causes sighted
Effects at your peril

Using both sides soothes equilibrium

Fluency soon finds the right port.

Surrounded by dancers

Tempted and guided

As our siblings above us

Holding sway absolutely

In tune with the music

Chords discovered and heartfelt

Compelled by right action

How receptive the hearing, how introspective the sight

Looking up seeing luminous wonder

Thoughts, emotions and actions in balance

In trine with completion right action now sought.

Stake now pledged

Here on Earth bearing Truth

For Truth, not deception

For Freedom, not vice

There is only us

To serve Life and no other

In God I do trust

A choice for each one

And one for us all

To Live or to Die

Each one acts like one wants, and

Each one does as one must.
