outsider

what is on the outside of the Order

we make for ourselves?

what fragile dreams Abide

outside the dark interiors of the spirit?

the Mysteries aren’t afforded

by the priestly class

but exist at the edges of vision

through a glass frosted

by the breath of prayer

by the music of the heart the hearth

the heat of Life shared

songs offered

community restored

walk out into that white world

cloaked in diamond sparkling ice

breath visibly rising to the firmament

in-spired

by us all
