“Shabbat”
We start out on this day of rest;
“All up from here”, I say in jest,
For we’re already on the layer
Christ made for us with Easter prayer.How does one act while living here?
Are we ourselves? Or need we fear
The folks who tread the earth alone,
Far off from their eternal home?While some, preoccupied, get on
With life alone, far from the throng;
For they press through each obstacle
By Grace – quite tragic-comical.Forthright in authenticity,
Through mystical simplicity
(For process is straightforward, man
Once Spirit has empowered man).Ten days we have ’till Donald’s in,
(Or Hillary) which then begins
More of the same old, same old mess,
In world controlled by evilness –Personified – it’s not the man
Or woman – just the one who can
Change life for all – temptation’s ours
To turn to him for spirit’s powers.But no, that’s not the way to go;
It’s Kingdom-layer we’ve come to know,
Where we can live forever more –
Step onto Kingdom’s dancing floor.Lord, thanks for this triumphal day
You’ve given to us, that we might pray
Like You that fateful Easter time,
When You exchanged Your life for mine.Thanks Lord for this.
