The Five Are One by Teak

Merit for July 2008

New Celest, what a test, bring the light, join the fight.
Light is one, finely spun, glittered twine, oh so fine.
All alone, one's a stone, desolate, bare as bone.
Five ideals, large appeals, act as one, hardly done.
Seasons come, seasons go, light remains, time does flow.

Life anew, hardly knew, what's in store, I adore.
All around, swift as sound, songs of love, from above,
Innocence, sweet penance, dance and fret, ne'er forget.
show all kin, blind to sin, childhood love's, flying doves.
Seasons come, seasons go, light remains, time does flow.

Time to fight, for the light, bring your hoards, with their swords,
Zeal shines bright, 'gainst the blight, we can't sway, its our way
Bright as fire, knights conspire, in the back, an attack
In the haze, never dazed, time to fight, light is right.
Seasons come, seasons go, light remains, time does flow.

Leaves now fall, free from thrall, we can splay, night and day
Puzzles solved, bliss dissolved, truth is born, with a scorn
What it means, each man gleams, only pure, may endure
Brittle twigs, lack of swigs, here I earn, what I learn
Seasons come, seasons go, light remains, time does flow.

Soft and cold, bright as gold, endless nights, needless fights.
Learn to save, learn to pave, plant a seed, meet a need.
Hope is great, on our plate, meal at home, whitened foam.
Forgives them, haw and hem, to destroy, sweet envoi
Seasons come, seasons go, light remains, time does flow.
