A Drunkard's Proverb

This is my personal proverb about me and the Lord.

Shemes                       The wings of the sun beat upon my back

Natach                        As the streaching of the shadows chase the day

Saba'                          I bind myself to seven dreams

Hereb                        On the blade of my tongue

Nahar                          I lay myself in four streams

Ga'al                          Where my blood avenger had died

Musar                         As Pedagogy brings a man

Petach                       This drink brings me to zion's door

Hayah                          For my life is not found in bread or day

Yayin                          But in The poison of Dragons and the dark of night.

Author's Note

This is a weird poem, not written to be understood or for that matter good. Though there is an explanation and meaning for everything. The words on the left are Hebrew and the correlate to the words underline. I didn't use the right english letters for the Hebrew, but I don't know how to use the accents needed. If you want to know what anything means just ask. It is really an experiment.

Quite impressive! The quotes make up a very convincing poem. So, congratulations for the talent and probably the "research". As I read it over again, I was wondering if there was not some kind of riddle in it. You will have to tell me if so!

i like it . no no no- i really love it- even if i don't understand it all. i understand a good amount of it i think. i tried to read the underlined words as one poem but that didn't seem to work. didn't know if i was going to uncover some secret poem within a poem!?! it's beautiful yet painful richard but i you know what we like to do with our pain- turn it into ART!
sorry it took me so long to get to this.
love u
