Within the wicked wash
a shekinah crown of thorns
is tossed to you
offered to you.
Hold on to it- titanium tight
faith demands
a blood palm sacrifice.
Keep sextant eyes on the pale horse horizon.
Paddle to that golden island.
One key stroke at a time.
Through the mirage of time.
Stay ahead of famished tides.
The selfish biters of the brine
the plutonium misers.
You've finally arrived.
It was there all the time
the evolution of a pastel mind
the evolution of tranquility
the evolution of eternity
the evolution of you.
1.
I need courage
To live CHRIST-ian
I tasted intimacy
In Triune Communion
2.
At my age
With second family
I cannot complain
Except for spirituality
I wanted visions
Of Jesus, Trinity
3.
Can't see Face
God's. And live?
I settled then
For African evangelism
Still want intimacy
Tasted back then
SHEKINAH GLORY
When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it, the light of my face was precious to them. Job 29:24 NIV
Oh Friend, how much more precious the smile of Jesus!
Oh, to have your smile kiss my eyes -
my heart races, my pulse upturned

Shekinah
All sound my hearing distorts,
The spine tingles, shivers run.
A cloud neither black nor white -
Heaven, Earth touching.
by Jean McLoughlin
Glory before the celestial God
creation’s lighting grace truth hath said
Eyes
of grace,
face to face-
a beautiful
sight
deep
within,
shines without-
reflecting the
light
Inspired by Ex 33:17 (NKJ)
