All Gypsies under the Mercy Moon, All Sheep under the Shepherd Sun


All Gypsies under the Mercy Moon, All Sheep under the Shepherd Sun
I do not know of your God,
Nor do I know of my God,
I only know of God,
Neither yours nor mine,
Just God.

I do not know of you,
Nor do I know of me,
I only know of we,
Neither you nor I,
Only we.

Are we not all Trespassers under the His Sky...?

I do not know of the Guide
Who would leave those
In utter need of guidance
Without someone to bring
Them to safety.

Are we not all Gypsies under the Mercy Moon...?

I do not know of the love
I feel in my breast,
For it is not knowledge,
It was never written
Save as a spell
In the heart of
The unwary.

Are we not all Spellbound under the Sky Unmade...?

I do not know of Him
Though He knows fully
And truly of me.

I tried to capture a little
Of His vision, smiling in grace
Upon the most magnificent sky,
But my thieving hand trembled
As my atoms whirled in His praise...

For how can a fish
Catch the fisherman?
How can a deer
Catch the hunter?
And how can the sheep
Catch the shepherd?

Are we not all Sheep under the Shepherd Sun...?

I could not sleep, taken ill because I neglected my medication today. So I surfed the internet sea and I came across this interesting little concert, played and sung by men garbed in strange attire. The music that they played were beautiful and hypnotic. I do believe that this was recorded live in Germany. I wrote the prose listening to their haunting harmonies.

May God bless you always in your wandering and in your staying. Take care, sunshine.
