Odysseus
Two handed..(10 fingers)
Assuming all the gods which culture gave
him, as with walking, language, dress code, and
his sense of humour, honour, kind of whim
allowable, technologies that stand
(because their secrets - held in guilds of trust -
are too complex to master in one life,
and yet can be bequeathed, as well they must,
to individuals, husband or wife).
Where can a man, or woman, go from there?
What options would he have? And how could she
work well within the confines she has where
she finds herself? And though the options be
with diff’rent clothing, and maybe approach,
at heart they’re sim-i-lar (& complement).
For humans aren’t one part, both horse and coach
both oars and sails together get ships sent..
It's not our place to see the way to take
It is our place to take each step we make
On seeing all our inconsistencies
to choose against confusing drugs of ease,
recalling and confronting our own hell
that we have brought into this world so well
before remaking, choice by choice the life
that's gifted us by grace of love that's rife
in any here on earth who keep their word
that’s even to their hurt. for they see
desire of this small self, too small, absurd,
compared to honour’s acts which always be
more glorious, immortal. Great God gifts
to those who take this path, Eternal Life.
At first maybe as song or story lifts
the lives of those around a husband/wife
United human element to show
the glory of creation which delights
to give itself in acts of love to know
and be known by, the one who ever fights
in ways that open up in time to act
for glory, honour, immortality.
In all confusing aspects, ev’ry pact
they keep, receives for all humanity.
