an ode to dead souls (II) ~ celestial orphans


 you see, 

 the world is in a monologue,

 talking only to itself,


 seeking creation, 

 probing nature, 

 Rattling the elements, 


hoarding Yahweh’s blessings.

on that proverbial table,

we fatten the diet of our senses.  

  

we, genius skeletons,

preaching God’s irrelevance

with boastful tongues, 


 the world is not looking for Him,

 A new year only resuscitates the

 the body’s dying vigour, 


I wish us, profound awareness of 

coffins, tears & final extinction?   

…we’re celestial orphans in a lonely galaxy.   


There exists a divide 

broken only by that Nazarene, 

To not pursue him,


 is to immerse the soul in sleep,

 a cosmic neglect of a beautiful God 

 to  blissfully die  into the irreversible… 


and in death, 

to forever reside there in that terrible unknown, 

alienated from a loving God.
