He stands,
poised on the brink of two worlds:
One, land of eternal day,
the other, earth of mire and clay.Behind Him,
legions of heavenly host,
bright faces covered, praising,
all chanting, voices raising.Before Him,
chaos yawning, swift and deep,
known, yet unknown. Fear unfurling,
death and darkness churning, swirling.He turns.
One last look at golden glory.
The Three part; He is now One.
The Father’s voice says, “Go well, my Son.”He leaps
into the abyss.His next memory will be a Mother’s kiss.

This blog compiles some notes and observations from one average guy's journey of life, faith and thought, along with some harvests from my reading (both on-line and in print). Learning to follow Jesus is a journey; come join me on the never-ending adventure!
