“The Challenge Now” [reflection on two poems in the last section]
The challenge now? To obfuscate!
I had not seen, as now I skate
Upon the layer of ice above
The world of blockages – with love.But as I re-read poems’ last
Big section – see if meaning past
Right over me – I saw quite clear –
“Best obfuscate what you hold dear”.Just like You did in years gone by –
Used parables – all wondered, ‘Why?’
“Because they will make fun, attack
The best in life – you can’t stop that.“But ears to hear, will hear aright;
The Spirit’s role throughout is tight
’Longside the reader’s mind – makes clear
Such deeper meaning that’s brought near”.Lord, grandpa saw photography
As way to help all people see;
But now I hear the plain reverse –
“Best obfuscate, lest things get worse”.Thanks Lord for this.
