The Watch

 
 "The Watch"
(A tribute to Rembrandt and the Schools 
on Earth and Above )


Triads in his pupils
Eyes behind the face
Eye behind the eyes
Gaze through time and space

Into God's eternity
Imperceptible smile
Unto God's fraternity
Present all the while

The face of time falls off
The visage of God revealed
Coming forth from centuries
Ancient suffering healed

Great Sphinx in stature
Fine silk golden robes
Beyond infinite nature
Above human hope

Talons outstretched ready
The eagle extends his wings
Single eyed and steady
The Saints and Angels sing

Patiently, urgently, anciently
Works round the globe repeated
Lovingly, devoutly, presently
The Divine Will of God completed
