Blind

I have a tendency to explore the esoteric through my own writing. It helps me explore and perhaps understand a small amount.

Study now for heart and understanding
Ever craft is earned before understood
You should know thy self before proceeding
You should see yourself as a brother would

Blind, unknowing we came before the lodge
A friend unlooked for, our guide through the door
The sharp and cold reception then we met
Ancient pattern then traced upon the floor

Yet knowing nothing we did, here, walk in
We did follow all those gone before us
A prayer and then the compass follow
We are each covered now in quarry dust

All of the tools we learn by sound and use
Taught us both for function and for practice.
The Temple on the horizon rises
All wrought by craft and skill and artifice

Kneeling, trusting, we give our sacred trust
The architect receives our given vow
Light unyielding is thrust on each of us
The Apprentice now does here, faith avow

Study now for heart and understanding
Ever craft is earned before understood
You should know thy self before proceeding
You should see yourself as a brother would

Blind, expectant, now walk the circle path
now do new lessons greet us from the gates.
it’s on bare walls we now do hang the lath
and it is on these walls we rest our fates.

It’s a craftsman that now here arises
The tools to build now clasped within his hands
True, Plum, and Level are all his actions
on good and sound foundation now he stands

Study now for heart and understanding
Ever craft is earned before understood
You should know thy self before proceeding
You should see yourself as a brother would

Blind again, we walk with trepidation
What lies in wait is now veiled in shadows.
Now our word we give with great conviction
This, the masters path is one of Hallows.

Betrayal now gives voice to gruesome death.
The villains punished gives but little rest.
Hope now in evergreens eternal breath
Death, this then is the builder’s final test.

Study now for heart and understanding
Ever craft is earned before understood
You should know thy self before proceeding
You should see yourself as a brother would
