' The  Village  of  Heritage ... '



( 2nd of  5 – From The Heritage Edition Poems)

(Gen. 1: 1, 26, 27, 28 / Eph. 3: 14, 15 / Acts 17: 26 / Matt. 13:  10–15)


The Village of Our Heritage
Has A Great Cobblestone Bridge
that Leads Into The Mountain   (Isa. 2: 2-4)
the One With The Waterfall-Fountain

The Bridge Stretches Over Surging Seas
It Is Very Steady In Strong Breeze
& Any Carriage-Rides – With Time To See
May Gaze Into Misty History …

… from The Village of Heritage
Every Path Leads To That Bridge
Yea, Every Trail & Lane In Village
from Our College & Other's Orphanage …

even From The Village Square
All Roads Start From There
Passing By Every Hut & House-Yardage
even By Gated-Manors That Are Mortgaged

… The Heroic Village of Heritage
Every Person There Displays Courage
For Nearby Woods – Once Had Wolves-Savage!
People Barred Doors Against Their Carnage

and Brave Dwellers Built A Broad-Barrage
of Iron & Logs & Boulders So Large
and Posted Keen-Eyed Heritage Guards
All Around The Village Wards

The Prudent Village of Heritage …
Also Prevents Spills & Soil Spoilage:
from  Facts(Tories) & Printery-Published
of False-Info  That Fools The Publics
(& Blacksmiths Who Forge Race-Rubbish) …

for Horse-Drawn Wagons or Buggy's Rampage
are Quickly Carted Off To The Garbage !
& Residents Only Rummage Thru A Wreckage
To Sort Real From Rust In Heritage …

And The Mill's Sawdust & Drainage
Is Taken To The Marsh Called ‘Vain's Edge'
Filling Fog-Bogs w/Sand-Bags Kept-In-Check
A Brief But Necessary Task of Re-Collect …

Oh! The Quaint Village of Heritage
Celebrates With Daily Treks To Bridge !
That Leads Into The Mountain  (Isa. 2: 2-4)
With The Clear Waterfall-Fountain

And The Market Shops In Our Village
Opens Stalls With Onions, Potatoes & Cabbage
Bread, Cheese, Roast-Rabbits & Radish
for Those Who've Come Far & Are Famished
(and Want Their Lineage Established)
(Isa. 25: 6)

also Sliced Tomatoes & Pickled Relish
Honey-Butter Spread On Meatpie Sandwich
and Everyone Gets A Customary-Dish:
A Stew of  Lamb &  Almonds & Fish

and Wine Drinking In Moderate-Dosage
To Go Along With The Salad & Sausage
In A Celebration We  Sod-Pottage  (Gen. 25: 29)
In Our Village Hall & In Each Cottage
We Celebrate Our Combined Heritage !
(by Keeping Our Birthright To The Bridge)

In The Celebration of Heritage
Everyone Gets A Bowl of Spiced Porridge
& Fruit-Preserves, Jellied, Jams – Also Omelets
With Cold Water or Ale or Squeezed Pomegranates

Or Fresh Milk-Pails With Currants of Knowledge
setting Amid Carefully Cultivated Foliage
Served On Heirlooms of Silver Not Tarnished
& Gold Cups With Healing Herbs As Garnish

Arranged On Copper Tables Burnished
That The Village of Heritage Furnished
Then We Plant & Put In True Pots, A Pledge
to Help Adorn Every Resident's Window Ledge

with A Colorful  Garland,  Posy  &  Corsage
along With Memoirs Affixed In Decoupage
In The Gaiety & Honoring of Heritage
Where Only One's Hello Is Held Hostage

The Village of All Heritage …
Built On Future-Dreams Yet Still Vintage
Thru Stones of Beauty Upon The Bridge
Reaches Horizons Past Human's Ridge

At The Village of All Heritage
At Its Bridge – Hangs That Old Adage …
‘One Must Know Where You Come From
To Know Where You're Going To Come'

And If History Repeats Itself
It's A Tutor of What Should Be Kept or Left
And What Our Forebears Paid In Passage
In Tradition,  Culture  and  Heritage

for Our Children & Our Children's Children
from Our Ancestors and Those Before Them
It's Important To Know Our Own Origin
and The Author – Who Had It Written …

and The Why & Where & When & How
So Others Know Truth Then – As We Know Now
It's A Protection Against Poison-Pens & Plagues
& Plagiarism, Phonies & Power-Crazed-Phase

& Prejudice & Mind-Prisons &  Maze
But Humans In Heritage Can Find Their Place
As Partners Preparing For Posterity
Blue Ribbon Prize ?  Family Prosperity

Let The Children Play Sport of ‘Who Are We?'
& Dance Circle Games of ‘Identity'
& Friendly Kick Balls of Scrimmage
& Play Tag & Peg-Games, Since Cribbage

and Hide & Seek – Each Other In Village
Our Precious Offspring In Our Image
They Are Both Our ‘Hope & Offering' Arbitrage
Grown From Farm–Flesh & Blood Acreage

and Pairs Walk Hand In Hand Engaged
When Ready For Next Heritage-Stage
They Received Advice From Village-Sage
As Entrusted Elders Turns Over The Page
They've Provided Wise & Loving Parentage
(So There's No Hate Nor Harm … In Heritage)

No Room For Carved Idols or Rival-Fakers
Nor Artifact-Tools of Traitors or Haters
But From Antiquity & Throughout Every Age
Here Are Heirlooms of Our Rich Heritage:

An Amethyst Brooch for Best Behavior
A Jade-Tea-Set Plus Leaves Healing-Flavor
Diamond Earrings To Hear In Angels' Acres
A Swan-Fan That Opens In Ivory-Favors

Bronze Lantern Made of Pure Light-Labor
(and a Lamp, a ‘Lectric, & now a Laser)
A Pearl Necklace Linking To All Neighbors
Marble Mirror To Image Us In Our Maker

A Medallion From Mountain-Mover-Shaker
Music Box With Miracle-Tunes of Nature
A Rose – Pressed Between Holy Papers
Love-Letters Written – Read Now & Later

A Portrait of Our Parents' Prayers
Rainbow Ribbons Sparkling Like Glaciers
A Locke of Hair, Tress-Tied & Curl-Layered
(there Was A Veil But It Vanished In Vapor)
below The Bridge That Allows Belief-Tracers

Plowshares Made From Warrior's Sabres
(still digs thru dirt & danger like Razors)
There's A Treasure-Map With Us As Claimer
& Mosaic of Mercy-Acts – Props In Theatre

A Priceless Tapestry Wove From Creator
Glass-Chain of Command Kept Straight & Greater
A 1st Century-Coin From First Engraver
& Brass & Silver Horns & Expert Players

A Wheel In A Wheel Which Whips All Racers
Sweet Songs of Sanctuary, We Sing & Savor
Sapphire-Studded Cup To Salute Savior
Original Pen-Works of  Orator-Praisers
Seascapes & Star-Scenes of Best Painters

& Very Knowledge of Cobblestone Pavers
Strong Suits of Armor That Made Us Braver
Ceremonial Rites of Truth-Oath-Takers
Life's Recipe Served By "La' Maitre"

A Millennial Clock Tick-Tocks – Time Savers
Watch That Works Thru Time & Never Wavers
& Mother's Ring That Our Father Gave Her
right over there in our little Village …
in The Promised Land, Title, Deed – None Pillage

At The Village of Our Heritage  (Gen. 1: 26, 27)
there's A Perfect Garden – Pasturage    (Gen. 2: 8)
but One Can Only Get There By The Bridge  (Jo. 14: 6)
thru Cobblestone Pilgrimage   (James 4: 10)
that Leads Into The Great Mountain   (Isa. 2: 2-4)
with The Clear Waterfall-Fountain …
(John 4: 14 / Rev. 7: 17 / Rev. 22: 1)

The Bridge Stretches Over Smooth Seas
A Solid Foundation – Paid-Toll Is Free
So Carriage-Rides – With Time To See
May Gaze Into Eternity …  …

… from The Humble Village of Heritage
We Celebrate Our Bond With The Bridge
Tho' We Don't  Think of It As A Bondage
… to Us – That Would Be Sacrilege !

(and We're Rid of That Wolf's Howling-Rage)
… in The Village of My Heritage …
