Poem
I Wait Upon the Lord With the most blessed life I can imagine even with all the chronic illnesses and painful hours since age 8 still I have known Christ to stand in battle beside me while I , of course, lack all knowledge of the workings of heaven — kingdom of Our Lord our cosmos to the infinity carrying our flights the routes of our meanings like grains of sand like mustard seeds meant to become some things obviously of some purpose to actively affect heaven and on earth our fellows alive to include everything with breath plus plants and the air which is itself breath plus the soil which needs hold oxygen too water comprising the full blue of our planet the roaring song of our mother of All here our mysterious lives in the Everything expanding Holy! his created beginning! ii the course of this life brings me to a complete acceptance of Holy Bible detailing the past to our now and prophesies of the future the complexities to depths with such symbolism and the untold secrets of heaven about which Christ knew but would not unlock and only hinted to three so it is apparently in the workings of infinity filled with hierarchies and powers and supremely multi-faceted forces begetting a war of all wars between all Good versus Evil wherein we children on Earth with our meanings plus purposes have also been given to each Free Will that ultimately we will choose sides in this war so much more than questions of what if anything happens to us after death always centered on being simply the getting to and into heaven the “place” of being close to God and not to be separated from God that is hell all-removed from breath and motion and every perspective of meaning a void of all beauty all sensing all feeling all heart soul spirit and especially denying every possible hope of love making hell the pit of everlasting despair a burning consequence of having chosen the denial of God! the exquisite ultimate omnipotent Source ruling the more than is concieveable by us more than we are ever meant to know and thus the gracing to any who by faith embraces God’s complete righteous power and plan to achieve the enduring reign of the living Good thus while I am here now with some understanding of these things in my soul my mind standing stead- fast in my choice by free will to wait upon the Lord Praise him! Holy! Holy! the promise and captain at my side through all these earthly afflictions he has aided me to survive as I now think for the benefit of a building of my being as needed after this life sometimes it seems he uses suffering to teach to bring lessons of battling to establish strong souls as warriors for all Good with all the most highest of virtues of his created for the battles on earth as in the universe but fought here thru love thru charity and compassion then fought beyond perhaps with the same or to champion weapons of which we now have no comprehension perhaps involving forces of creation as he directs Our obedience through by faith by free will fully given as children of our one living redeeming faithful most Holy Lord and King — ———————————————————————————————————— (c) sally Young eslinger 1/2021 Thanks be to God
