Thou shalt pause.

Be aware of words, footprints, phantasms

Totems of the winged ones.

View grape-laden vineyards up the hillside.

Sip wines from a comfortable verandah.

Abundant harvest, prepared dishes, desserts

Thriving cultures produce variable recipes.

Verses are perched in the pearlescent clouds.

Below, civilizations rise and fall

Interminable histories and shipwrecks.

Rampant amnesia recycles Truth.

Thou shalt not trumpet fears and doubts.

Critics redouble

Seek fame and fortune.

Thou shalt mend the wings of essence.

 Discover philosophy, poetry, theology.

Invent new ideas and correspondences.

Breathe in the valley of oubli.

Boldly follow the path to the summit

Understanding all and nothing.
