Levels - more levels ......
Best stay out of sight..
Some see a devil;
Others a delight
Who knows why?
I can't judge.
Can the eyes deceive?
But at the end of the day, it's what's done and said - you only scatter seed...
I didn't want to be wrong; everyone loves a winner:
So the bait is set; let's see who comes to dinner?
It's a game of life and death; only one can choose - the fall guy, what's he got to lose?
He puts in the sickle, when the harvest is ripe: and reaps; when their plump and juicy; he reaps, he puts in his sickle: and they are thrown in to the great winepress, of the wrath of God.
Wow! Don't lose the plot...
Stay on your level, build on what you got...
It all gets tested.
Hear
On the ground..
And if you can't keep up with the footman?
The cavalry will mow you down.
The things that remain are tested with fire: a wall upon the rock.
Adorned
Precious
From her height peace shall flow:
Mourning for the lost; in praise no man knows.
Isaiah 53:7
It's best to stay on the level.

This poem seems to be a plea for one to choose their side and recognize the right. Nicely written
This refracts the imagery into a more contemporary, layered meditation: a modern idiom of “levels,” games, bait, and tests; suggesting that in the chaos of perception, competition, and judgment, the only way to endure is to remain “on the level.” It’s almost a commentary: "don’t get lost in the noise of winners and losers, bait and games. The Servant shows that the true test is silence, endurance, and what remains after fire."
Arqios - AI should be careful, you could take their job!
There's something just slightly.. almost.. there.. but slightly out of reach...
PS Who is this Isaiah bloke anyway..?
What's in a name?
Could be....Is - a - i - ah?
Or maybe just another a - ah
I've been listening and reading his book for years, and still can't answer your question, with any authority.
It is a venture, or perhaps become an adventure?
Wow, this is both proclamation and poem. The sickle at harvest, the call to stay on the level, the cadence of warning...very powerful. Urgent, heavy, unforgettable, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Poems of flowers metaphors of nature. Loved the Spanish and English translations. Well done
