With Love Ablazin’
Christian.
My what a magnificent word!
I grew up believing in its regality and
by God continue to believe it still
for (contrary to popular opinion)
such is one who sets his face as flint
toward the yawing day and rides in
with love ablazin’ unable to keep from
squandering second chances upon both
the comely and the plain because
the mercies keep falling through
the holes in his fool hands and side
(and because he himself has been
so squandered upon).
Christian.
Its a deathy way to live, that’s for sure,
but with every dying the valiant founder’s
magic grows and one day, yes one day,
the spell will reach its climaxation
and we will wake to as it was in the beginning
and death, yes death will bloom no more.
Thank you for the gift of the word “yawing.”
yes…
It IS a deathy way to live. As always, you find just the right way to say it. Thank you.
Wow, John, this reads like Pilgrim’s Progress, only with better words….like ‘deathy’ and ‘climaxation’.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and truthful words with us. They encourage and inspire me and make me grateful for such a thing as the internet.
