Possibilities

For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’   Revelation 7:17

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”   Revelation 21:3-5

there is a silence here,

it grows like a whisper,

a quiet, controlled pause,

a small, knowing glance,

a foreign substance

speaking a language

all its own;

we have become a nation of whores,

selling our children to

the highest bidder,

devouring their inheritance

for a pittance,

accepting the consequences

with no thought for tomorrow,

trapped within the madness

of the method,

replacing character with content;

ends justifying the means;

false prophets

in love with the sound

of their own voices,

forever searching

but never seeing,

forever finding

but never understanding;

unaware,

unsuspecting;

sometimes knowing the answers

is not nearly as important

as imagining the possibilities;

the light of a new dawn

begins to break,

I am leaving this dark place,

going to a home unknown,

what tomorrow brings

does not matter;

for You will be there

to make it right,

You will be there to wipe away

every tear.
