Pageant of Life / Cantata

There is only Spirit. This is Life. All else is but the garments.

Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Mark 11:8

"Hosanna!"

Cantata

an object upward thrown how high
for it to qualify
as being in sky

fifty feet twenty six one foot
less or more
is earth merely heavens floor

above below below above
own eye
relative to tall things nearby

is heaven sky is sky air
at half inch high
is air down there

existence
requires
grace of space

truly then where do we dwell
on earth
do we on bellies crawl

We walk and live upright on ground,
The only souls on earth are feets',
Here and Now to Life lets rise,
Welcome Friends to Paradise!
