Pleasance
I
the spirit animates the living
it constitutes the intangible being,
breathing life into words and
giving life to.
said to be separate,
the spirit pertains to the incorporeal state,
so the soul is spirit though not identical –
when bound together they form spirit+soul:
dual of the ‘Unsaturated’.
II
a sequence of events set Earth in space,
a magical story that strives apace
seemingly tender and perfect,
absolutely sustained but imperfect.
sacrifice essential in the sequel.
all evil duly kept on reigns.
III
unscrupulously invited to eat knowledge,
the offer was eagerly accepted –
tasting rebellion, growing up in liberation
who swiftly seized the situation?
now residing in a secular destination
beneath in rank and quality –
a descent straight down into folly.
but love always salvages
a bad situation –
Earth was saved and not destroyed.
a creation for those who can comprehend
riding on the composer’s verse,
the journey back to Pleasance.
