Emmanuel George Cefai Poems

The sacredness of the Human
Any Human
Be such that the Human be not touched
Nay, any Human
...

Within the house
Nay within the smallest room
I be a Lord of the Universe
For lo!
...

Moved round
Here and there
The Ageing Poet-Seer communicated
With Spirits and the
...

I feared Spirits and the rest
At first
But then grew bold
For friendly the Spirits and the rest were
...

The Spirits and the rest
Whisper wisdom
Spark my Brain Mind
Be the friends of Wisdom

As far as the lyre will so:
And this
Not just in lyric verse

The Spirits and the rest to sermons
...

We say Spirits and the rest
Ah the Rest be many:
Nymphs,
Fauns, satyrs
...
