LOVES By Allen Mendelbaum l Myriad discordanl voices ln unharmonious waves did rise Towards The supernal Power above Them Towards The Fashioner of rheir Fares. ln rhe celesfial pavilions A pensive muleness did pervade Unlrammeled by earlhly Turbulence, Unshallered by mundane loudness. Unlil-+ha'r blalancy l+'s source in lvlan's sublunary abode Driffed, Then reached il's deslinalion And aHained God's ear. The quarreling raucous voices Of The producl of l'lis craflsmanship Proved Thai while Peace reigned in l-leaven Disunily was rampanl on Earlh. And God was dislurbed. ll From Heaven showered manna On The lumulluous men ol Earlh And il was as balm of Gilead For The manna's name was Love. And some of Eden's lranquillily Was 'rransplanled now 'ro The World. l-lumanily's seefhing embroilmenls Were oershadowed by lhe olive branch The bickering was sliltled The allercafions rendered mule The blessings ol Love had fallen And had borne Tralernal Truil. Myriad mellifluous voices ln euphonious waves did rise Towards 'rhe supernal power above lhem Towards The lzashioner ol lheir Fales. And God smiled. Twenfy Tour ELCl'lfAlNllTlf
