beloved of the One True
elemental child we are
woven from the ways of dust
each breath testifies of origins
even destinations
and proof?
proof is often a wooden bowl
collecting elemental ways
that drift close to imperceptibly
on the slightest of breezes
somewhere between sunlight
and shade
proof is often words strung
together like colorful beads
that sound much like
"Oh thank you Jesus"
and the Spirit knows
Jesus is the Word of God made flesh
oh beloved of the Shepherd
a blink in time may find us
at the feet of adam and eve
before the serpent wiley
and subtle came to play
or we can be wisked away to
the days of Nimrod who
would reach out and grab heaven
by reason of his might
by way of his pride
by fashion of his wielding
a world of unity
wrongfully directed
or we can sigh and blow by
scenes of a world washed away
in an all consuming flood
where the One True was
a God of water and gopher wood
where a way was counted in
subtle increments of two
and you beloved
have been precious in His sight
since the days
before Noah's son's, sons
replenished the earth
Oh we can speak of origins
and identities from the very first
beloved of the Most High God
child of my Father
and we can embrace in fear
and reproach on the dank
confines of the heartless holds
ships blown by the sails
of a cruel divine design
set against the gales
of chastisement
with no inkling that
the words
"thou shalt have no other gods
before me"
have more gravity than the
whole of this galaxy
and we can raise up
and peer beyond the tears
the anguish the grief
and the sorrow
the anger the blood
the death and worse
the life of injustice
oppression and manifold woes
to a mercy at the hand
that weaves all purposes
and plans
yes beloved
we can speak of remnants
the tried
who emerge as the finest gold
who have an eternal place with us
beloved
after the blink of this moment
and the wisp of this time
we beloved
elemental children of our Father
we will have forever
