2015.09.18: immortality

For we brought nothing into the world, just as we shall not be able to take anything out of it. – 1 Tim 6:7

nothing can take away
the faith that carried me
through the valleys
the purity of joy
on the mountain tops
nor the hope
that when the great darkness comes
the brightest light will follow
for if all else fails
the love the i’ve experienced
the love that i’ve poured out
is enough
for eternity

to love
and to have been loved
unabashedly
unconditionally
without reservations
that is immortality
a taste of the divine

But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth. – 1 Tim 3:15

even in God’s house
the blind attempts to lead
the deaf and mute

to see God’s mountain
but not be able to cross
into the Promise Land

hope endures
as long as we breath
wisdom lives

Jesus said, “But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.” – Lk 7:35
