+ 1ST POEMS: Two Or Three Christians' Gravesites

For where two or three are gathered together in

my name, there am I in the midst of them.

---Matthew 18:20

 

Where two or three Christians have been buried

becomes, in all dimensions, sacred ground;

from which all evil has been heaved and harried,

and can no longer haunt; nor lurk around.

 

Starward, a saved and baptized Christian but the least of them all

Pristine and flawless, your veneration of the very ground that holds the faithful, forever gathered in devotion, is pure inspiration, pure joy. Adding an eternal perspective to this verse took it to the next level. High-impact artistry.

Thank you.  We have a rather historic "main" cemetery in our area, and it has a couple of sections that are designated by religious faith.  The one I have visited, all too rarely, is very peaceful, and can provide a spiritual experience like to the one I was given at Gettysburg.
