PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We like to think we fully understand

the details of local reality:

the real of our world was taxes and Rome;

a hard living swallowed up in hard dying;

a half-roofed hovel as the family home;

no true advance, no matter how much trying.

But then, into this troubled weary land,

Jesus came; and among us, He revealed

His, and His Father's, spirituality,

no longer to hidden and concealed

behind a veil.  He taught us how to hope,

and with the certainties of joy---to cope

with old burdens that, by new Faith, are lightened;

and past shadows are, by the future, brightened.

Starward
