“from above”
My Daddy I do love you and I’m glad
to live within this world held here by love-
-ving creativity that keeps the bad
and good folk’s worlds, alike come “from above” -
“ἄνωθεν”(anōthen) - as it’s said in Greek, and means
also the concept of “again” to them -
Greek-speakers can do great poetic memes
that pivot on the meaning changes when
in diff’rent contexts curtains tear in two,
And children borne from one world to the next
are born “again”, or “from above” in lieux
of heading there, (though he did - in the text).
It’s also “from above” that he will come
“again” & stand on Earth as heaven’s friend
who’s come to live here with us, ev’ryone,
that’s .. on our side, and at it .. (to the end).
And now I see that poetry’s to be
extended from my life with you each day,
to life with those who image you, so we
might each be portals (windows) as they say
to keep the conversation going here
on good ol’ Earth that's meant to show, support,
make unseen heaven’s principles be clear-
-ly seen on earth, where principles are wrought
into existence in a concrete way.
I love to see this world of hea’en & earth
relating so that just as he did say:
“on Earth, as it’s in Heaven” - even birth.
