Seemingly, right before my watchful eyes,
another; never to be physically seen, nor heard, nor embraced,
generation has come, and soon, will go…
What a profound, astoundingly faithful,
and courageous generation(s) that God has birth from the red soil of Virginia.
How He empowered each soul to live and love,
below the lights and stars in the heavens!
Everyday people living and ever-learning to not see this life as wearisome;
not trusting one’s eyes nor ears,
for that which is has always been.
Did you not know, that there is nothing new under the sun,
(except those learned heavenly things which seize The Heart?)
Our Creator has innately granted each of us tasks which occupies us during our life-time.
Nevertheless, earthly longevity is like vapor,
for within the purified heart, God has granted those of virtue,
An Awareness of Eternity!
Who among us is able to fully comprehend the things that God does?
Each soul is to seek peace and happiness for the duration of one’s life,
which is a special Gift from Above!
Is it only our Creator who is able to reconstitute earthly soil into heavenly matter?
Turn shame into Dignity!
Turn rejection into Acceptance!
Turn hate into Love!
Turn sinner into Saint!
Turn a stone heart, into a Pure heart!
Turn those whom have been overcome, into those who Overcome!
For eternity is not that which is to be,
Eternity is in the now, for it has always been.
There is life, now,
and then,
there is Eternity, which is given to those who encounter,
and submit to The Messiah!
Only then [while abiding in Eternity]
will the true essence of this current life began to make sense.
Only then,
a soul can face anything without wavering.
Only then,
this life becomes a great Loving romance whereas,
each day is another opportunity for seeing the manner in-which God,
transitions our lives from mortal,
to immortality.
