Like the scent of evocative perfume

The words lift across

Street in the heart

Of a town named for a long-shot Gospel writer

Words about finding love and fish in the oceans

Surprisingly geographically specific

Pacific Ocean…Indian Ocean

These similes for lost love

A thin, reedy, fearless voice

Neon lights

Somethings are lost in the now

Known only to the One who sees

The not yet the will be

Impossibles come true

One day we will all know

The words

I have not thought about the dark house in years.

There were roads not taken—a house in the woods, a beautiful Victorian with no yard, a dog-less condo.

When you are old you realize how much you did badly

So many regrets.

But not the landlady, not the note, not the conversation between the nice neighbor and the petulant four year old

Defiant on the roof of the porch when she should have been sleeping

Later, much later, she would sleep when she should have been

Defiant on the porch of the house

I pray the time machine prayer

Dear God, permeate the darkness, the loneliness, the horror, the nightmare, the hell the children went through

Let them sing in the courts of the Temple of God

Hosanna, hosanna in the highest!!

Like a kid waiting for Christmas….

The spooky looking woman stood in the cold storage room of a thousand embryo banks

Wild-haired

Wild-eyed

Barely human

Trying to teach the little ones the answer-

Why should He let us in?

For God so

Loved the

World

That He gave

His One and Only

Begotten Son

That whosoever

Believes in Him (Yeshua)

Should not…

Perish…lose the ticket…be barred from admission…let go of his hand..forget his face…let their pride conquer Truth

But have Eternal Life
