Significance
Undying love
an impossibility
a romance novel
a twisted pipe dream,
Can it ever be found?
Even the closest
to perfect human -
died!
Their love, their presence
their essence, personality,
all of them random - gone
just a grass blade
weakened temporary roots
dried to a brown wisp
in nor-wester winds,
flaking, crumbling, scattered,
forever lost.
Endless days
short moments
fleeting seconds.
And love spoke
A powerful presence
on Earth,
The walking, singing, challenging
Love was birthed
in frailty,
in the midst of death
and the universe
was inexorably changed,
This extreme love
healed, restored, invoked,
spoke truth, grace, life,
Transformed society
touched the untouchable
loved those who thought
they could never be treasured,
Said, "You are sons and daughters
of God",
And then evil killed
this ultimate love
tore it down
in the fears of people,
The fears of those in power
The fears of change,
death to a love promise
Just another lie,
death to the completely innocent.
Dying, dying, grave bound
death's chains
binding love in chaos...
And on the third day
Jesus rose
Love rose
Redemption, freedom rose
death could not hold Him
the undying love
Lived on, loved on,
The sacrificed love
searching love
forever eternal love,
the worst possibility
has become
the best truth,
death has become
eternal life
in the power
of God.
Alive in Christ
we stand
Life stories rewritten,
we are
the touch of significance,
We feel
God's heart lovers,
We have become
the royal priesthood.
Starting Thoughts: The temporary nature of life, are we just random? Can we have any significance and therefore hope in life? Can we discover in the worst possibility the best truth?
Bible Passage: Mark 16
