"Thy Kingdom Come"

“The vote”, she said, “is not about the theme
Of ‘Independence national’ – it means
Two views of how the Scot’s economy
Will be played out on island in the sea.

“One view is England’s favor to the rich –
The ones in power, not those stuck in the ditch;
The other view has more a social bent,
With Scottish flavor – that’s what voting meant”.

Aha! A road, two ditches, just like here –
The way between, in Scotland, is not clear;
Folks think it’s two great themes about the cash;
There’s three – a Way’s between – so just relax.

So that returns us to our task at hand –
“To find a way to prosper in this land
With righteousness” – a “way” between the two,
To be the tree by river bank, and do –

What God requires to have prosperity
With righteousness – for all, that we might see
A world of social justice – Leonard said,
“Expelled from garden” – by His hand we’re fed.

“This is not Eden”, loop is real (not here
But up above) – perspective makes quite clear
For living here on earth, like Bondar’s pix –
The impact of her past’s in photos mixed.

“Thy kingdom come on earth as up in heaven”;
“Thy will be done”; “We’re salt and light and leaven”;
Must be lived out here on this darkling plane,
But loop has meant we’ll never be the same.

Lord, as this set of two weeks opens up,
Help me to walk in You, view as enough
The tasks You give to me – my “that and this”,
So You have room to give Your heavenly kiss –

Through photographs, augmented text for all;
Lay out a way between, that we not fall
Into the ditches there along the way –
Thy kingdom come much closer here today.

Thanks Lord for this.
