floor plan

 

 

 

a carpenter's dream

the blood in the wood

love's vein,

nails to redeem

 

the thorns in the bed outside

rose scented walls

foundation rumbles with Friday storms

but holds fast

 

we are protected

but now we own where we live

and how we live

and why we live

 

the roof, a crown

ascension to the second floor

a carpenter's dream

nails to redeem.

So many levels of meaning, hope and faith in this incredible poem. So many interpretations...The Divine Carpenter's dream for us-a living "house"built with His spilt bood and nails and thorns...we as carpenter's ,dream of the plan for our lives and build our own "house"with our own blood and nails and thorns,...we own our "space" and our lives, built solidly, and if we live it righteously, we ascend to the higher level, as our Savior dreamed for us- Redemption....Incredible poem, metaphor and imagery. Beyond Master-Class!

A poetic scaled drawing, illustrating the relationships between the spaces we create- from one level to another! Wonderfully penned my friend … :-)

Metaphorical triumph!
The kind of "Doublespeak" we can appreciate, learn from and honor.
The work of a truly loving "Big Brother!"

Think someone spilled something on the blueprints messing all of us up.. thank goodness for a strong foundation right? Seemlessly woven like the magician you are, just what I needed tonight.
