Jim Link - 3 Years On

I
Jim was the archetypal Mensch
We loved writing, Greenbelt MD, Jesus

II
At the edge of my tears
I could sit, daydream, make monuments with words
The Hindu soul within my Soul
Had adored weaving flowers for Jaggan
Whose mom died while he was the driver
Our ancestors will gladly bequeath garlands
Tropical and exotic strelitzia and protea
But you and I are forever in another lineage
The eternal family through a lamb, Jesus

It requires unusual grace and courage to break away from the culture and practices of ancestors. You have done that, leaving aside your Hindu lineage... and now you sculpt monuments of words for Jesus ! Great Anil.... Login to Reply

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, enjoyed. When we have eternal life and are new bodies. There won't be any more monuments to put up. We will live forever.
