At The Sadducee's Dismay (A Priest Feeling Low, About 8 BC)

In Jerusalem, we have the denominal.

But North, in Galilee, the seeking soul

finds faith, and that keeps it alive

during the life through which it must strive.

We hold that we are ended at our death;

that nothing of us lasts past the last breath.

In Galilee, their common expectation

is life forever with God.  That elation

brings every waking moment inspiration;

and, like a rapt gift, thrilled anticipation.
