A Short Numerology

A SHORT NUMEROLOGY

A hundred years of solitude
Might bring us to the four questions
Asked by the youngest and simplest son; the one
Who says “Why?” and is answered with
Six degrees of separation, by his father
With the two-toned voice:
There are 5 senses,
And 12 cranial nerves,
And 10 fingers and 10 toes.
There are 4 directions
And one God.
But there are also many levels of meaning,
And many, many mansions in your father’s house.
Someday I will teach you about the 13-petalled rose.
You are my darling son, unique in all the world.
In all the stars, without number,
You are the only you!

The mother, the father and the child make three:
All in one family:
And if you use your 6th sense
You can tell what matters most to each one,
And how the three form a sacred geometry--
A base, a platform, on which to build one world:
The hologram of the rest.
