Joshua 15 1 So this was the lot of the tribe Of Judah’s children to describe In families of their own line, The border of Edom to shine At the desert of Zin southward, The southern boundary of their sward. 2 And their southern border began At the shore of the Salt Sea’s scan, From the bay that faces southward. 3 Then it went out the southern side Of the slopes of Akrabbim, passed Along to Zin, ascended last On Kadesh Barnea’s south side, Passed along to Hezron to ride Up to Adar, and went around To Karkaa. 4 From there it was found Toward Azmon and went out to The stream of Egypt, and the due Border ended at the sea. This Shall be your southern border’s kiss. From thorny desert and the houses where The scorpions flicker upon earth bare I turn my gaze, diverted from the line That binds my feet at southern step and sign To see the maple loam about the cape Of glories fashioned in both light and shape. The desert dance upon the naked floor Binds soul on earth to heaven and its shore. Beloved, I touch the polished, glistening sand And turn and turn again and come to stand Where angels invisibly raise a hand Against the north winds, south winds in their scope. Once liberated from both steel and hope I climb instead of flounder at the rope. From The Beloved and I lulu/spotlight/thomasmcelwain
