Hope
Romans 5:5 and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.
An ancient memory … and a very present dream
No harm was done ... and none would ever be
No war was fought ... and none could ever be
Good was known ... and nothing else would be...
... before the lie was told.
Remember the Ones who spoke
Before nakedness was thought a shame …
When all was “very good.”
The first divide put us outside the gate.
And unable to return
We learned the things of evil
And mixed them with the good.
Corruption was touched.
No greater plague was ever known.
For death had come and conquered all save eight,
And eight were saved.
And upon
the Ancient memory
His story being made
Has also made of some
His friends.
Dream now of crimeless streets,
Of a city free
Where all therein lack nothing.
Where their hearts adored desire Lives.
It is no Dream.
It is His Promise
and now our Hope.
Soon, YES! Very Soon...
Romans 8:20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope
