PSEUDEPIGRAPHA PSALM

PSEUDEPIGRAPHA PSALM

Are we the actors on a stage
From ancient scripts reciting lines
Foretold by Sibyl and by Sage,
Performing roles, fulfilling signs?

Are we repeating timeless tales,
Renewing songs of strophic praise,
Our lives unrolled on storied trails
As we step through enscrolling days?

Are we the musing analogs
Of bygone oracles who knew
The temples and the synagogues,
The messengers of interview?
