THE WAY TO GO

THE HOLY MAN

A trapped bird

A wrecked ship

An empty cup

A withered tree

Is he

Who scorns the will of the King above.


Pure gold

Bright sun

Filled wine-cup

Happy beautiful holy

Is he

Who does the will of the King of love.

I welcome comments , just not obscenities or malicious attacks on others. The keyword of the Dew of Hermon is harmony, which means not always agreement but always respect and brotherly love.
