Like illuminated manuscripts

Like illuminated manuscripts

 

Words fill us,

create, are us -

 

like illuminated manuscripts,

written brilliantly in time -

 

our detail and colour,

elaborately painted -

 

ornate with organic life;

gilded with some light

 

of different material,

decoration of spirals;

 

so few pages ever open -

displayed under eye-glass.

God is a writer -

life the printer.
