He, Him and All That He's In

Bribed with a little sunlight and a few prismatic tints, we bless our Maker, and stave off his wrath with hymns." - Thoreau

The Pillar Of Fire By Paul Hardy, The Art Bible 1896

pillar of cloud by day and fire at night

that's got to be right

handing me a ticket at the window

backstage

setting things up

shining the lights

standing in the front row

parting the sea through which you and i go

he's everywhere

thunder his percussion

rain his guitar

always near and never far

my soul the microphone

the harmony and the chord

both the psalm and the song

strength when i can't go on

stretching out eternity and making it long

how could i ever possibly go wrong

Author's Note

"It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover what God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know what I mean." - Thoreau
