Stephen was the first Christian martyr
refusing to deny Christ but to stand fast
holding faithfully to God's eternal truth
but his death wouldn't be the believers last
Stephen was full of the holy spirit
obedient as Paul taught the Ephesian church
to be constantly filled with the spirit
having God indwell him knowing his divine touch
Stephen looked up searchingly to heaven
there expectedly wishing for his eyes to see
what in heaven would he feast upon?
knowing that his saviour had died on a tree
Stephen looking ahead saw God's glory
so majestic and glorious leaving one in awe
the human mind can't take all this in
God's awesome glory so pure having no flaw
Stephen saw Jesus the eternal Son
standing truly at God's right hand
the one who had risen from the dead
now there was Christ on heaven's land
(''But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” )
Acts 7: 55,56 (ESV)

Tiny bus bumps along Ephesian roads
bright orange sun hangs overhead scorching
uneven ground lined with creases
library; crumbled and marked
with seal--Medusa’s hair
coiling around, eyes
burning my soul
she sends chills
down my
spine.
