Reason A. Poteet Poet Verse

Let There Be Light

Ages ago, in the beginning
God said "Let there be light."
And Satan made his attempt
at darkening man's insight; 
having fallen himself by denying
God's power at heaven's height.

Adam and Eve fell for his lies
and disobeyed God's command
to leave that one tree alone
just one tree in all of Eden-land.
The tree of the knowledge
of good and evil must have been grand.

The Light of the World
met his Father's challenge
on the cross,  And He changes
lives still today, but I cringe
at the thought of God-asking me,
"did your light, the darkness impinge?"

John, Revelation's time traveler of old,
foretells visions of not needing the moon or sun.
New Jerusalem need never fear a black-out
of understanding, for there dwells the Holy One
the Living light. God Himself will be all the light
mankind will need when time has become undone.

John Watt March 20, 2022 at 9:17 PM Reason, an insight-filled narrative taking the reader from the first day of creation, through man's fall in the garden, Christ the Light of the world dying on the cross, and into the streets of heaven, where no light is needed because God's glory will cast away all darkness. Wonderful! Thank you for this inspiring write, and congratulations on your win ~ John Reason A. Poteet March 25, 2022 at 6:50 PM Thank you for your detailed reply, John. I appreciate your support.
