As gold makes the old glitter
Wine makes the wise bold to filter away
Their goodness
Put not your trust in the heart of princes
For their breath is as a mere moment
Quick in manifestation
Quick in exit from existence
My stance is made known
Even as the noon of the day dawns
My own will I not forsake
Neither will I disown are the words that
Come from the mouth of Omnipotence
Which constitutes all living things and
Manufactured elements
Cemented to the times and seasons that
Breed and sow the seed
Of purpose and destiny and the light that
Dwells among men
Feel the fill and make merry the rivers
That
Author
Sentiments in my soul,
Introspections in the wrist of projection
And manifestation of the bricks of the
Backbone of each day.
2
Sole searchers
Crawl towards the creams of yester
Aspirations
Neat colors of doom
Flow towards the sachets of silent
Deaths
Through the voices of living serpents in
The
Name of survival
The philosophy of man
Only cures the lust of his need
But never restore the bricks of broken
Bridges
That bound the relation of history to
Destiny
All already known
And grown, and made renowned
As silence
Slays the esteem of the moment.
3
Many moments have gone unpredicted
Many seasons have hid the foundation
And
Projection
To reveal the talking and broken strides
Of
The sides of destiny.
In the end
Only the strength of a man’s will matters
In the end
Only the plight a man seals settles
Where grammar has failed
Silence shall prevail
Where movement had failed
Faith shall exhale
Where stone walls have stood
The Foundations shall be ruptured
To release
The captives and set free
Those that have been bound by the
Oppressions of man and flesh
And deception of ignorance and
Rebellion
All for the edification and affliction of
The day
Which shall be a despair to some
And a joy to them whom the truth shall set
Free.

About the Book
InIntrospection: Prose and Poetry,Enosh Aganah, through a varied collection of writings, considers the universal human emotions brewing in the wake of global crises and constrictions. He gives voice to those who cannot speak for themselves as he paints candid pictures with his words. His poems capture the essence of the diversity of life and the challenges we face in spite of where we live. The common thread in all of his writing is emotional honesty and truth, the very art of expression that considers the geographical, philosophical, historical, moral, and ideological diversities of life as they relate to the human fabric of existence.
Introspection offers the author’s thoughts on the fullness of life, finding hope through adversity, and the goodness that love brings to all things. Through illuminated poetry and prose, Aganah presents an odyssey of pain, pleasure, power, and potency that brings our feelings to the fore.
In the misty morning, I thirst for the dew of heaven. In the wake of the sun, I seek the truth of life. In the dusk of each moment, I search to feel the fulfilment of light. In season and in reason, in existence and exit-trance, Righteousness still remains: My boots, peace, hope, and joy.
