Missed call, then txt2pw: Sorry, I just had a moment of despair, but now it's ok. I'm looking forward to Wednesday meeting up. Enjoy your days! Help us breath, to hear what you say!
There are, at times, in life, as we live it,
some moments of despair that come about.
It's like they are temptations to give in,
acknowledge it as Boss Hog (though a lout).
They don't feel good, but claim to be true-est,
so that I should join up, & march in step,
& even share despair with folk who rest
in happiness or joy, who haven't wept.
I think it's insight comes from how life IS,
when I live independent of the One
who made us for extending what are his
(or her) true purposes, of love begun
(for all our genders do not even shine
a light to (t)his agenda for us to
reflect the kind of love that does not whine
about what all the other people do,
but looks to love, & serve, & bring about
more good of friendship in each coming day,
& looks for help from God to bless, not pout,
& breathes deep God's own breath. Their life's okay!
For humans do not live on food alone,
we thrive on friendship, where we learn to love
espec'ly friendship with the God who'll groan
& pray for us, and come down from above
to walk with us in coolness of eve'ning
(but also in the noonday sun as well).
For life that comes from mouth of God does bring
his word, his breath, his kiss; saves us from "hell"*.
* In the scriptures that record both Moses' & Yeshua's words, the Greek word behind the English translation "hell" is "gehenna", the Jewish name for the Valley of Hinom which was used as the rubbish dump for the capital city - Jerusalem. This seems to have become a metaphore for a dump for the the who of God's Creation (in heaven & earth) at the end of time.
