The Apocalypse--A Revelation ... Chapter Nine

After their emotional breakthrough
Sabrina and her mom Kim
talked through last night's moon's descend
until a new eager sun peaked

a visual divide provided
of structured land composed of neighbor's
brick or frame houses

streets tree-lined of oak and maple
limited their vision of heavenly skies.

They talked till no longer sad
their eyes to constantly cry for James,
Kim's husband, Sabrina's father

gone missing
temporarily
from their lives.

His spot in their hearts
tender yes void
await his return though not to a world
full of hatred
discord

but under a marvelous
theocracy filling this globe
with a loving international brotherhood

already it unfolds
as each member
a tongue, head, or toe

part of a body whole

helps one another
carry personal burdens
though individually
they strive to handle their own loads.

Yes, on each other,
they do rely

but, especially on a Creator
who generously supplies:

rain to wet the soil
for wheat or grain or any bounty of spoils
harvested for all

even those without money
should not be denied

as in conjoined agony
humanity individually
daily

prays
cries:

“My heart is in anguish within me,
And the terrors of death overwhelm me.

Fear and trembling come upon me,
And shuddering grips me.

If only I had wings like a dove!

I would fly away and reside in safety.
Look! I would flee far away.

I would lodge in the wilderness.

I would hurry to a place of shelter
Away from the raging wind,

away from the storm.”*

Though, the enlightened
await the Great Day

fast approaching

united

not simply
clinging together.

Like blossoms they sprout
stems or limbs

not green with envy

joined
as moistened leaves
to wrap tight in comfort
or bend as shade

to hug

encourage
all colorful blooms
to transcend

boundaries

extend
expand

in joy
withstand
pruning

necessary
weeding

as one does with:

Silver bells
Floretina
Jackmanii

climbing vines
lovely, aromatic
one's senses to assail.


This was how Sabrina and Kim
remembered James--a gardener

a cultivator of people to excel.

How in his life
he purposefully
prevailed.

His laughter loud
in future will again ring out proud
with no time to loiter from
slapping friends jovially on shoulders.

A valued soul in a multinational crowd.

He moved minor mounds
to retain peace plus order

believing each seed
needs\deserves
a cherished plot.

He came to despise
nationalistic borders.

He looked forward
to a New World
gloriously proclaimed.

Sabrina and Kim
must too.

They reunited
reclaimed
their familial love
that night into day

mother and daughter
renewed their affection
as the Creator taught
his obedient children to do

after sadly lost in selfishness
along the way.

Promised
they
each other

to endure the race
without a trip-up fatal

a crucial deflection
in their lives causing one
to lose one's place

if they kept not only
James clearly in sight

on their mental
finish line.

One

of many precious reasons
on which to depend

if to survive all that this darkening world
drags you through.

Then:

"They will build houses
and live in them,

And they will plant vineyards
and eat their fruitage.

They will not build for someone else to inhabit,
Nor will they plant for others to eat.

For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree,

And the work of their hands
my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.

They will not toil
for nothing,

Nor will they bear children for distress,

Because they are the offspring
made up of those blessed by Jehovah,
And their descendants with them.

Even before they call out,
I will answer;

While they are yet speaking,
I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb will feed together,

The lion will eat straw just like the bull,

And the serpent’s food will be dust.

They will do no harm
nor cause any ruin
in all my holy mountain,”

says Jehovah."^

Sabrina must hope

hold on to these words
onto Jah continue to put
all her trust

for the finale is not yet.

His Name his Son
must clear

His Sovereignty
vindicate.

How and when will this happen:

the finish of Adamic sin
when initially with Satan begat

nevermore to ever beget?

Maybe the force of God's Kingdom
one should not negate
... TO BE CONT'D
