BEYOND TIME
In motionless silence,
The mad woman travels
to places that do not exist.
Impatient, she sleeps,
By the still water pool,
awaiting the touch of the wise, loving fool.
And suddenly, now,
He is holding her close.
Aware, she's no longer herself,
The wise fool's at peace
In this strange, private land.
The mad woman places her life in his hand.
Why are you? she whispers,
With eyes that are open.
Be with it, he silently pleads.
I carry the key,
It will lock out all fear,
We've travelled far to possess what is near.
He unlocks her soul,
Which unites with his own
and drowns in an ocean of lust.
She cries when she wakens,
Dear God, set me free.
Let me have here on earth what is destined to be.
Walk in peace, God commands,
Wear a clever disguise,
respect your sister and brother.
What in timelessness thrives
Cannot happen on earth.
The wise fool belongs to another.
In motionless silence,
The mad woman travels
to places that cannot be found.
The wise fool enquires,
Of the tall tree of knowledge,
will we meet the next time around?
And God in his heaven enjoys the cruel joke,
How wonderous his power,
How heavy the yoke.
Rebellious and wilful
yet true to God's rule,
The mad woman travels to meet the wise fool.
