Poem
And it was as God and His Word had said –
I watched the lions and the cattle alike, grazing on renewed Earth,
Laughter filled the roads of righteousness,
Each action was a kiss from the Spirit,
Flowing in all of us—those of like mind, and those of sound heart

In all of the happiness, I felt something rather familiar;
It was almost a sadness…
As I watched the children play with the serpents and scorpions,
I felt His breath behind me…

I turned kneeling before Him and smiled,
Christ lifted me and looked into my eyes
“Dear one,” He said, His voice soft spoken, yet clear
“Something baffles you; -I know it to be so. . .”

I sighed, “Surely you know my Lord…”
He laid His holy hand upon my shoulder
“Ask, and it will be given to you…”

I smiled, remembering those were the very words I had thought of that morning
He laughed, jovially, at my slight surprise
“Yes, Lord Christ, as You said, knock and it will be opened.”
Peace rushed over me, though my curiosity grew…

“Christ almighty, son of God,” I began, taking his open hands,
“Something baffles me, indeed.
Something troubles me even,
And I have long tried to push it from my mind.”
He remained silent and sober,
Patiently waiting for me to continue…

“Here I am, among the fields, watching the lion and the cattle,
Beaming at the fearless children I have helped nurture,
Kissing back the waters of Your Holy Spirit…
Yet Lord, though my eyes ever marvel at the beauty of these lands,
My mind often goes to a very dark place, 
A place that I wish You can bring to light, 
A place where the tormented one thrashes and screams, 
And no one hears him rejoice… I feel for him, Christ, I do… 
Is such bitter compassion wrong?”

He looked at me long and smiled softly 
“Agape love is never wrong, dear sister
You are a thoughtful, kindhearted woman,
Mercies of the Almighty God reflect off your dimples,
Though I have long noticed your drift…
Many days I have contemplated the same,
Though well we all know God’s plans are perfect
His mercies are beyond the world and I…
He will hear you, dear sister…
And He has considered your concerns.”

Silently, I absorbed his reply and sighed
Overhearing the conversation,
Noah walked over to us and greeted Christ and I
“Hello sister, hello Lord Christ,
May I share this with you to ease your mind?
I, Noah, when the world was awry,
Fell down upon my knees and asked The Eternal for His mercy,
In His planning to destroy mankind,
He received my request…
He heard my request and changed His plan according to my righteous works,
In good will, giving mercy onto man yet again
Though man’s ways continued, throughout time, in sin…”

I nodded, understanding Noah’s input
“Thank you Noah, and thank you Christ,
I think I know what I must do…”
