Analysis of A symposium of silence
A symposium of silence
A synaxis of the serene
Lectured by the unspoken
Unpublished is that what is written upon the heart
Reading the lives of the illiterate
Is scholarship for the seeker of goodness.
Virtue is the correct grammar of the godly.
No casting spells or cursing only blessing.
Processing interrupts peace. Meditation makes
amends and welcomes back peace
They take mundane and mystify it.
Impoverished is the one who refuses sacrifice.
Heavenly is the good steward of the land
Taxed is the meek but shall inherit the earth.
Scorned are the mourning but comfort will be theirs.
Acquittal for those who face many trials of tribulation.
Eternity is for they who recognize the impermanence of this place.
Principled are those built on steady foundations.
The will of the wise is the will of father.
