Description: When The World Was Created - eLouise

A favour done, not as return for another, 
is more valuable than
heaven and earth put together.

A timely favour, however trivial
its material value is,
is invaluable.

just delve into the real impact of a favour,

done without calculating the returns, 
it is vaster than the ocean.
Those who know the value of a favour, 
will not evaluate its worth,

just delve into the real impact of a favour,  

even if a favour done is a minor one.
Those who know the true value of a favour, will see
for the quantum of favour, a tree, where there was a grain.
 a tree, where there was a grain.
  
 just delve into the real impact of a favour,

Impact Of A Favor  - eLouise

To believe that transient things will last forever
is deplorable stupidity.
Great wealth accumulates  like a crowd assembled at a theatre;

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.

 Wealth is transient; when it comes about,
use it to do a lasting righteous deed.  
when it goes, it vanishes like the crowd at the end of the play.

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.  

*BRIDGE: (more powerfull singing)
The wise get this : Time, that manifests itself as days,
is a sword that slices off life.

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.

One More Good Deed - eLouise (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

This universe existed in the shape of Darkness, unperceived, destitute of distinctive marks, 
unattainable by reasoning, unknowable, wholly immersed, as it were, in deep sleep.
Then the divine Self-existent indiscernible, making all this, the great elements and the rest, discernible, 
appeared with irresistible creative power, dispelling the darkness.

The Jah Is My Golden Egg 
The Jah Is My Guide

He who can be perceived by the internal organ alone, who is subtile, indiscernible, and eternal, 
who contains all created beings and is inconceivable, shone forth of his own will.
He, desiring to produce beings of many kinds from his own body, 
first with a thought created the waters, and placed his seed in them.

The Jah Is My Guide

That seed became a golden egg, in brilliancy equal to the sun;
in that egg he himself was born as Creator, the progenitor of the whole world.

When The World Was Created - eLouise, For You Alone, Jah, 2021

In which calm home of happy life and love
     Ligged our Enlightened One, knowing not of woe,
     Nor want, nor pain, nor plague, nor age, nor death,
     Save as when sleepers roam dim seas in dreams,

    	 Bright-clad and laughing as if life were good.
     	"Fair is the world," he said, "it likes me well!

     And land awearied on the shores of day,
     Bringing strange merchandise from that black voyage.
     Thus ofttimes when he lay with gentle head
     Lulled on the dark breasts of the wife,

  	   Bright-clad and laughing as if life were good.
  	  "Fair is the world," he said, "it likes me well!
     
         Her fond hands fanning slow his sleeping lids,
         He would start up and cry, "My world!  Oh, world!

	     Bright-clad and laughing as if life were good.
	     "Fair is the world," he said, "it likes me well!

Bright-clad and laughing - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

I hear!  I know!  I come!"  And I would ask,
     "What ails my Lord?" with large eyes terrorstruck;
     For at such times the pity in his look
     Was awful, and his visage like a god's.

	Wherefore and whence we are ye cannot know,
         Nor where life springs nor whither life doth go;
         We are as ye are, ghosts from the inane,
         What pleasure have we of our changeful pain?


     Then would he smile again to stay her tears,
     And bid the vinas sound; but once they set
     A stringed gourd on the sill, there where the wind
     Could linger o'er its notes and play at will—

	Wherefore and whence we are ye cannot know,
         Nor where life springs nor whither life doth go;
         We are as ye are, ghosts from the inane,
         What pleasure have we of our changeful pain?

    	 	Wild music makes the wind on silver strings—
  		   And those who lay around heard only that;
				   But I hear the heavens play,
  	  	 And to my ears they sang such words as these:—

	Wherefore and whence we are ye cannot know,
         Nor where life springs nor where does life go;
         We are as ye are, ghosts from the inane,
         What pleasure have we of our changeful pain?

We Are As Ye Are - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

Bent was his back with load of many days,
     His eyepits red with rust of ancient tears,
     His dim orbs blear with rheum, his toothless jaws
     Wagging with palsy and the fright to see

	"Alms!" moaned he, "give, good people! for I die
     	Tomorrow or the next day!" then the cough
     	Choked him, but still he stretched his palm, and stood
     	Blinking, and groaning 'mid his spasms, "Alms!"

     So many and such joy.  One skinny hand
     Clutched a worn staff to prop his quavering limbs,
     And one was pressed upon the ridge of ribs
     Whence came in gasps the heavy painful breath.

	"Alms!" moaned he, "give, good people! for I die
     	Tomorrow or the next day!" then the cough
    	 Choked him, but still he stretched his palm, and stood
    	 Blinking, and groaning 'mid his spasms, "Alms!"

     Then those around had wrenched his feeble feet
     Aside, and thrust him from the road again.

    	"Alms!" moaned he, "give, good people! for I die
     	Tomorrow or the next day!" then the cough
    	 Choked him, but still he stretched his palm, and stood
    	 Blinking, and groaning 'mid his spasms, "Alms!"

Alms - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

So all was comely and the houses trim
     Throughout my city, while he
     Came forth in painted car, which two steers drew,
     Snow-white, with swinging dewlaps and huge humps.

	Who flung me flowers, let him ride with me.
   	  How good it is to reign in realms like this!
    	 How simple pleasure is, if these be pleased.


     Wrinkled against the carved and lacquered yoke.
     Goodly it was to mark the people's joy
     Greeting their; and glad.  There he stood – all waxed
     At sight of all those liege and friendly folk

	Who flung me flowers, let him ride with me.
   	  How good it is to reign in realms like this!
    	 How simple pleasure is, if these be pleased.

    		 And light and kind these men that are not kings,
    		 And sweet my sisters here, who toil and tend;
  	   	What have I done for these to make them thus?
     		Why, if I love them, should those children know?
	
	Who flung me flowers, let him ride with me.
   	  How good it is to reign in realms like this!
    	 How simple pleasure is, if these be pleased.

Who Flung Me Flowers - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

Pondering, to his beauteous Court returned
     Wistful prince, sad of mien and mood;
     Nor tasted he the white cakes nor the fruits
     Spread for the evening feast, nor once looked up

Loveless, unlovely, weak, and old, and bowed.

     While the best palace-dancers strove to charm
     Nor spake—save one sad thing—when wofully
     I sank to his feet and wept,
     Sighing, "Hath not my Lord comfort in me?"

Loveless, unlovely, weak, and old, and bowed.

     		"Ah, Sweet!" he said, "such comfort that my soul
    		 Aches, thinking it must end, for it will end,
     		And we shall both grow old!

     	Loveless, unlovely, weak, and old, and bowed.
