Cobalt Blue

For there unto death.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is the sheperd of all life And whom may stand Against it's inevitable, and Gripping hands? Infectious merchants Selling the here and now As if there were no tomorrow These prima donnas Of falderals faller.... Unable to behold; to perceive The paulownias flower That shall bloom Beyond this winters fornix Of their reasonings and thoughts.... Live for today they say Aspire toward the towers, of all Which you may hold Glitterings stardust dreams While they marvel, at plenaries Scrupulous veils of mystery That permeates, this perplexing Of their naively woven souls.... Perpetuity, they somehow believe? These vessels, upon lifes chartered course Cobalt blue waters, of their own Where atop, these glossitis ghostships sail Their mast against the wind Of manifest destinies.... Self-fulfilling prophecies; not knowing That death is the sheperd, truly Which shall forever guide them, into Their eternal, and unforeseen port!? These infectious merchants Selling, seeing, being, merely Concubines, for the here and now.... These condors of the new worlds flight .............Of............. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cobalt Blue

I hear you, loud and clear! Our houseold motto is, everything is transitory (on earth, and earth's laws). this is the big test, the big game so to say, how we do here...is the goal - it's within reach, as long as we DO! love Kristin

John this is great. You are incredible through Jesus. They wasted their lives sailing for the queen of Spain for gold and silver instead of for the important treasures to behold in the bible. Excellent thought my brother John Rhinem. Blessings to you and your family. Love Michael Torres.

As I see this write, it is focused on the coming of the Lord. Many are so blind to how the puzzle is all coming together. Signs everywhere...Always, Christy
