Rapture




Enraptured by the lack of rapture
A rape upon the rapids
Of astonished beliefs

My ravished body fills with delight
Living each day as if last

Not snatched or grasped
Or clasped upon

A few more years to gather
To capture what belongs

Itching ears want to hear
The kingdom is near

Doctrines of the spirit
Discern the truth
Empowering each
With  different
Interpretations

Now seeing through
The mirror darkly

Cognitive dissonance
A  gift of learning.

Ambiguity
Confusing at best

A plate of food
A drink of water should
Be the crux of salvation
And emphasis.

Not the waiting
Upon counting ducks in a row

Never ready

Always Willing
And
Anticipating

  3. I agree with Brian and Susie,

    Doctrines of the spirit
    Discern the truth
    Empowering each
    With different
    Interpretations

    So well said Lorely....

  6. All of us believe as we all interpret the truth, we trust in a revelation or a process, when what we view is indiscernible, absolute. Even the crossing point is a mystery, for the Father's house has many halls. We live always in the moment of reaching and receiving for the mystery is within us. Inspiring stuff Lorely!
