Inscription

From Ann Glover O’Dell’s Midwifing the Soul:

Comes the scribe

with ink of pen

filled with words and

more than words

that flow as from an artist stylus

engraving permanent incisings

as the point inscribes the heart.

And the message?

Only this:

“Know thyself  as thou art known

Know thyself  to be my own

Know thyself as purely formed

on that vast creation morn.

Let the false laws be erased

That thou might know me face to face.”
