Weaving the Covenant

Poem

Square the frame; thread the loom. Draw straight and bowstring-taut the cords.

With harness and heddle pattern the covenant cloth. Throw color-threaded shuttle, straight as an arrow, swift as pure thought, to fill the sovereign space. Enlarge the fabric of stake-stretched tent. Increase the temple-tall poles.

With reed press tight, rich patterns of light. Extend and bind borders with gold.

Prepare royal robes; spread canopied veil. Dress Earth to embrace the Lord!
