AWAY WITH YOU! GRIEVOUS MOUNTAINS...!

Struggling each day with our eyes

on the prize—here standing

boldly before us—remains

that Sisyphean mountain

of oppression fogging

the mountain top

of our eyes’ prize…

 

Yet, let us not be dismayed

but ever be reminded

of over the way we have come

shattering oppressive racist

rock-walls seeking to hinder our rise:

we are not of mythology but of God’s

reality: heirs of hope, faith, and the word…

 

Thus, despite the many rocky

 Mountains that stand between us

and the mountain top of our liberation,

let us not be deterred, dismayed nor afraid;

we’re children of love and where love is,

fear and dismay are at the mercy of the

word of God:

 

“Whosoever shall say unto this

mountain, Be thou removed, and

be thou cast into the sea; and shall

 not doubt in his heart, but shall believe

that those things which he saith

shall  come to pass; he shall have

whatsoever he saith…”

 

My dear Sisters and Brothers,

the sea is waiting; let us lift

 up every voice with the sledgehammer

of hope and the pick-ax of faith as we

shout…pluck…and toss today’s hindering

hurricane…pandemic mountains into

the sea of redemption…

 

Despite today’s mountainous

trials and tribulations testing

our hopes and determined faith,

let us forever know that our God

is our refuge and strength, that

very present help…resuscitating us…

in times of trouble…

 

Thus, let us forever be of good

courage, hope, and faith…knowing

that conquering today’s heinous mountains

will be tomorrow’s testimony of the word:

[we] shall mount up winged like eagles…

running but not weary…walking but not faint…

swimming the sea to shore…

 

In our trekking sojourn towards

the mountaintop…let us forever be mindful…

pandemic apathy is a quiet viral infection

making fear malignant…eating away courage…

feeding despair…munching away desire to forever

live free rather than to die in mental slavery: indeed,

if there is ever hope of a tree, what of you and me…?!

Brilliant....a powerful reminder of who we are who we serve...and all cannot be lost....must admit the challenges of late are daunting, not that the "game" done changed, just the level of instigation frequency is so loud...it requires more effort to drown the secular muzak....thanks for the most relevant reminder!

Thanks, 2b2b2. Such is the profundity of the simplicity: "When the going gets tough, the tough must get going." In a brief "down" moment in the present day "game", this reminder flowed into the womb of the poetic mind fertilized and gave birth to this write. ONE. Peace and Love.

I agree with 2b's comment and will add that we are the children of the most high God and with knowing that there's nothing that will ever come between us and He. Thank yo for sharing this Sir Lowe. Peace and blessings.

In remembrance... in the oceans, fallen mountains lie asleep in the sands of time. Said, it was but water... sun and winds, thus they resisted, not... being the mighty, feared nothing... the smallest things, unnoticed, began the Lord's work ...thus, the once mighty were laid inclined, carried to the shores of the powerful, yet humble oceans ...reduced to sand, awaiting judgement, to be carried as a sign, before all to see... further, in time ...to be returned to dust
