in trouble ... in bubble

---

God, wisdom please! And patience too. And joy

in deeper, unseen stuff than even this

whole world (where we now live, as girl or boy

in Mummy's tummy). To grow up - not miss-

miss-take the situation we're now in

as though this were the proper grown-up stage,

yet let the exercise of stuff we've been 

here given, still grow habits which engage

our muscles, sinuses, tendons and the like,

with nerves and "bones" beginning to become

of use, though we could hardly see, or hike

that far, or even understand what some

might think the basics of life "on the out"...

So look and listen as much as we can.

We don’t have much worth-while to say, or spout..

But doing as we need, will build the man,

or woman we are meant to be one day.

That day is coming, when our “night” has passed

and we come to the outside world the way

that Christ moved to the heavenly - world-classed

achievement (that was claimed for Caesars, say,

collecting somehow credence for the next

as “SON OF GOD”, but) his move ‘gainst the snake,

well for the source of life, not just the text,

the label, or the stamp; but true at core

to what is real and permanent, in love.

We’re dropping words and taking up what’s more

important in that life that’s “from above”.
