Fallow 340

The sun is shining
Behind a blanket of clouds
Such a cozy gray

The wind is blowing
Smooth seas carrying ship strong
Carrying me home

Just three steps ahead
New Year's Day carries promise
As it has for years

What is one step back?
Is reversal awaited
Hoped with baited breath?

This matrix suggests
My, our, version of events
Is one most treasured

While I work my days
I realize The Father's work
Keeps on echoing*

So I work as well
That I might be called forward
Standing at the back

Head down, soul shining
Is hue one you (You) (YOU) recognize
At any distance?

*John 5:17
In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”

(Every time I read or think about this, "this very day" is heard this very day, not just as some day referenced 2,000 years ago).

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned.

(W)rest Control

Need I say one word? We've tried [that] one already And yet here we are So in silence sleep May your perfect Dream meet you Across the lim line An echo is heard "I do not exist" replied An echo is heard Ink fresh on the page Contracts diverge and collide With you in my arms Intersection stays Written deeper than our code Indelible Mark This turn naught taken That the first might rest at last Finally at peace When looking to (w)rest Remember the lesson learned Fly, fly back to me Nothing gained or lost Nothing is impossible Nothing out of reach

Verdict

I have held this back for long enough. This wicked generation sickens me. This distasteful generation disgusts me. 1,000 generations promised, nonetheless, and so it will be. Did you know that one can build an image of Jesus so clearly in their mind that they will see an idol in his place and feel certain of their eternal fate? A cloned image, without the power of God. Perhaps considered fine, here on Earth, but what of on Judgement Day? How horrific would it be to find out that you have been lied to? How terrifying will it be to hear "I never knew you" in the silence, while you ask the lawyer by your side to proceed? Jesus is not coming for you. You hung him on the cross, you pierced him and left him there in your heart, never even thinking to repay the forgiveness he would ultimately offer. You blasphemed his name and the Holy Spirit with your contempt, and lied about it, every day, even to yourself. So, intentional contempt is summed, your will removed from the verdict, th...
