Missed when first heard
But now the clanging echo
Is loud, clear, and rhythmically
Flowing into the cistern
Of inspiring divine wisdom
And supreme guidance:-
Even missed it when read
In biblical scripture—the mind’s
Ear often not deeply listening
To what the eyes feed it.
Thus, the missing of the greater
Dept of the allegorical message:-
Now it is as understood as is
The comprehension of cocooning
Metamorphosis of caterpillars
And soaring free butterflies
Leaving behind the emptiness
Of seemingly misguided adversity:-
You see, the simplicity of it all is this:
Freedom is a child of love! And in love,
There is, and never can be, fear!
No, when on the battlefield of the Lord,
Championing eyes on God’s Love prize,
There can be no place for debilitating fear!
Thus, when it seems as if adversity
Is about to take over, we have but
To cry out in loving faith and hope,
Mercy, mercy, mercy, and know that
Where there is the love of and for freedom,
Shackling oppression is no match for liberation.
So let us keep our eyes on the prize
And keep on fighting with the breastplates
Of hope and faith—coupled with mercy’s love:-
In strengthening love, let us keep battling on;
In abiding love, let us continue to greater heights—
That with greater love, our heirs will have less to do:-
So, there you have it, my beloved friends.
With and in loving faith, know and believe
God remains our light and salvation. Thus,
Let us fear not; for in His love, we’re strengthened
And need not be afraid. His mercy and love are
With us;
The journey has been chartered and there’s no
Turning back:-
