A Souls Opus, I Wait Upon the Lord
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 —
