PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

[for Lady Rae]

And now that Paul is dead and gone, what will
you do?  What is the future now?  Who will
continue his great work, and who can fill
his sandals?  No one can, you know, but still
the acts of Christ apostles must go on,
despite the prospect of more martyrdom.
And Christ said, "Occupy until I come,"
and we must not slack off while He is gone
from here.  Titus---Philemon---Timothy
continue with their usual ministry.
Aquila and Priscilla host a church
in their house.  Luke has finished his research,
and writes his books in sparkling, scholarly
phrases.  All this, despite Paul's tragic death:
in Christ, the faith is never out of breath.
