" Can One Sculpt All Of Love ? ... " (or) What Sculpture of Love?
(Gen. 1: 26, 27 / Deut. 4: 15-19 / Ex. 20: 2-5)
Man's Symbols and Emblems
I've Seen Such Emblems & Symbols
and Some Are Inadequate (As Art-Tendrils)
... Even Those As Monument Temples
... of Flags, Chevrons & Banners
Insignas, Icons and Motifs
As Representative Standards & Signs:
To Announce In Heraldries ...
Man's Symbols and Emblems
I've Seen Such Emblems & Symbols
They Sometimes Make Our Spirits Tremble
At A Sight Recognized So Simple
But An Idol ... Is An Insult
To The Etheral-Invisible
An Idol ... Is An Affront
& Can't Insulate What's Invincible
(for if one could hold
it's ears to listening
there would still be something,
motionless & missing)
Look, Would You Want Someone
To Say A Portrait Is You? ...
If It Lacked Your Obvious
Character-Likeness In View? ...
And Remember As GOD Had Said
In A Grand & Great Assemblage
'Let Us Make Man
In Our Image ...'
------- ------- -------
But Can A Book Hold Every Word
That Has & Will Ever Be Spoken?
Or Would We Make That Book
Into A Talesmin, As A Touch-Token? ...
Or Has One Even Heard
All The Sonar & Sounds of Songs?
Or Played All Those Music 'Notes'
That We Metaphor and Intone? ...
... In Thunder Or In Our Own Voices?
Or In Flutes Or In Clashing Cymbals?
Could All The Echoes' Resonance
Be Summed Up In One Soft-Timbrel? ...
And Yet, GOD Was Heard To Say
Authoritively, In A Humble Assemblage
'Let Us Make Man
In Our Image ... '
------- ------- -------
O' Can One's Shadow Show
All One's Depth & Personality Replicate?
O' Can One's Shade & Profile Show
All of What It's Self Is Made? ...
Or Can One Small Mirror Reflect
All The Power of Great Light?
If So ... Would There Ever Really Be
Somewhere A Deepest Night? ...
And Just How Far Away
Did Light Have To Come?
How Far and Long-Ago
Was That First Star-Sun From? ...
(for if one could hold
a star's map-listing
there would still be some compass somewhere,
moving & missing)
And Yet, GOD Said
In A Brilliant Assemblage
'Let Us Make Man
In Our Image ...'
------- ------- -------
And Are We Able To Describe
In Complete, Details Accurate?
All The Traits - So Peerless
& Immeasureably Immaculate? ...
... If None of Us Have Ever Seen
Inside of "The Holy of Holies"
Can We Process & Peer At What
Only The High-Priest Sees Solely? ...
(John 1: 18 / Heb. 9: 24)
O' Can A Copy Contain
The Unseen, Yet Universal Vision?
Of A Far-Away, Guided - Gaze
In Dynamic, Dazzling Dimensions? ...
(for if one could hold
that look in glimpsing
there would still be something
spectacular missing)
And Yet, GOD Said
In Humble Assemblage
'Let Us Make Man
In Our Image ... '
------- ------- -------
O' Can One Really Blueprint
All The Heavens Up Above?
*And Can One Truly Sculpt ...
All Scenes, Sides & Source of Love? ...
... Not Just Love's Responses
and Previews and Personas'
But The Power & The Poses
That Wakes Sculptures Up From Comas ...
(for even under a rain's
rinsing & glistening
a statue's still a statue -
where spark of life's missing)
But Then GOD Said
In Glorious Assemblage
'Let Us Make Man
In Our Image ... '
------- ------- -------
O' Can One Grasp
The Whole of Eternity?
Not Just The Concept
But In All Actuality? ...
(for if one could hold
its moment without finishing
there would still be something
coming & missing)
Can One Put All Bliss & Joys
In A Capsule Captured?
And Can One Take That Pill
and Reach Everything Enraptured? ...
Can One Fully Recall
and Repeat Every Fond Memory?
Even Thru An Anniversary
and Keepsake-Sensory? ...
(for even if one could retain
that moment - sensing
there would still be something,
not the same & missing)
O' Can One Really
Paint The Wind?
Not Just The Objects It's Actions
Raises & Rends? ...
For Even A Cold
Mist-Blown Breath ...
Can't Show The Elusive
Evaporated-Annex
That Escapes
and Defies Death
and That Connects Our Souls
Like A Storm's Spread-Chest ...
And GOD Said
In Divine Assemblage
'Let Us Make Man
In Our Image ... '
------- ------- -------
O' Can One Brush A Baby's Photo
Into A Cast-Predestined Part?
Or Encode Its Silhouette or Cameo
Or DNA With Hopes & Honor & Brave-Heart? ...
Or Engineer & Build Up
Why Its Bright Eyes Will Shine & Laugh?
And See Every Inner-Aspect
Of Its Future's Full-Flight Path? ...
(for if one could hold & mold
a child's every despensing
there would still be that measure
of choice & surprise missing)
... And GOD - - - - Said
Among An Awesome Assemblage ! ...
'Let Us Make Man
In Our Image ... '
