HOPE

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
