A Forest Sound With Someone There (poem)

 

Life is hard and then you die
withering flesh and roilsome skies
age is a trial one is convicted of
growing older waiting for heaven above

There is no normal wonder
except the power in the Lord
everything that is and some times blunders
cannot be taken ‘yond death like a horde

Temptations, cold and hunger
anger and emergent sores
blisters of temporal journeys
are set to beautiful sky scores

These leaders of mass confusion
leaving the ecosphere a wreck for dismay
bring wars and broadcast intrusions
and the electorate has not meaningful to say

One could hope for better
God has perfection now
yet not with Earth are Paul’s letters
written for world profits or plow

Thrown from the Temple
James also took the fall to the ground
an encouraging moral example
like Stephen he was beaten and cast down

Like a forest stand to be cut down
life of faith is endless
words from God profound
written on wood pulp public’s way pressed

When the time of night draws nigh
and the old enemy takes mortal life
one readies for travel beyond the sky
a call to resurrection overcoming strife.
