Hall of Mirrors ...
A hall of mirrors set in time
aroused
the fire of earth
...insidious illusion so sublime
and we induced
its birth
doors open
doors close
so many wander
unopposed
a lifetime long and grey
in circles
thought
on riddles old...
some wander as they may
but others come in from the cold
a narrow way
till fateful day
of lust undone
by stories old
when all will come to
kiss the son...
so death where is your sting
from wedding to our sin ?
... for open too to many who
the wider door
doth fling
but one so fair
on eagles wing
and wise
he flies
yet 'cross the skies
undoes
for few
their sure demise
What riddle this set true today:
Two ways to One
Two earths
three heavens
peace at Last...
as first we fast
as last be first
the first be last
and yet all thirst
this rest in peace
for love of Love
all things above
Love freely given
we receive
free give again
the joy of heaven
life bounteous then
to all in need,
through love
be life to which we're freed
so at the end we all will thrive
for everything
that now we give
... and tears now shed
will turn to blood
yet God
will call them from the mud
first feel the fire
few
as they could
as know and do
that which is good
and so the saga wends its way
as all will live
and Love
...one day

[ - as requested , an explanation of what the poem is about ... it is about the deep truths written in the bible explaining our past , present and future... the 'mirrors' are my attempt to convey that mankind's reflections of what we are, our common conceptions of being, are very clearly mistaken... we are spirit, made in God's image, not made in our own image of ourselves...
most folks trust religion , politics, institutions, industry , money and science to make our lives , but God shows us none of these are what we must ultimately do to come to realise what we are ... in fat all we have to do is to return to being the simple loving creatures God made us, so overcoming the illusion that we are what we see, what the world makes us into... the truth is written by God for us, it is not however repeated by religion... most folks never read the scripture in whole in order to find this out, so can wander a whole lifetime not knowing what we are , but still feeling the nothingness of what the world tries to tell us we are...
2 Corinthians 12:2 I knew a man in Christ
above fourteen years ago,
whether in the body, I cannot tell
or whether out of the body, I cannot tell
God knoweth
such an one caught up to the third heaven.
... how that he was caught up into paradise
and heard unspeakable words
which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away
- my blog on some of the insights written in scripture that you will not find mentioned in religion... you will see why they are kept secret by religion explained in scripture also :-
