Light (vision beyond cornfields)

A motivation to forego all preconceptions...

Monday, September 26, 2016


Poem Artwork
“Amid disquieting dreams in the night
When deep sleep falls on people
Fear and trembling seized me
And made all my bones shake.
A spirit glided past my face,
And the hair on my body stood on end.
It stopped,
But I could not tell what it was.
A form stood before my eyes,
And I heard a hushed voice”…
Job 4: 13-16(NIV)
_______________________________________

So fell eventide
in sigh’s of silence
with star-shaped shadows
and pale moonlight… And how fully
it whelmed the eyes; the
amber-golden-mists
purling with
argus-eyed dancers,
and all beckoning towards
something more durable than the
evanescing abstracts of imagination
.
For it was then, in
.
moistened twilight,
[that]
two weary souls admitted
sensing something summoning
them to cross over into it,
and in curiosity
they did
heed the call,
uncertain until intellect
had fairly adapted to the newness
.
But in settings spartan as they were
.
Both hearts shook
in dread consternation, and
became as leaves upon swirling currents-
a carousel flooded with infinite beauty-
[within a storm]
and where,
from all
clouded perceptions,
glowing radiance filtered
roundabout as diffused spectral slivers
cascaded throughout an ever-changing atmosphere
.
In whelming exaltations
.
Messengers with
Indescribable presence
emerged through rifts in
creations decaying fabric;
their voices
harmoniously joined in a
splendor of infrangible concordance
.
And when wisdom petitioned them
.
It unveiled how perfectly they had failed
in a quest for secular understanding,
and they fell intellectually naked;
absorbing the moment
as an unguent…
seeing and hearing suddenly
(and having found all awareness’s heightened)
amorphous fingers began to imprint in them
a motivation to forego all preconceptions -
of what was
and is
and will be - as a
brilliantly-burning-figure
emerged from nothing and poured
upon them warm redolent oil
and spoke (hushed)
to them,
(as it were) in
colors and sounds
as the Truth and Love of all
ages filled them with knowing LIGHT
and they merged and became one with the
FIRSTFRUITS of an entirely new race of humans

I was surmising that this was surely part of a book, and, as I came to the end of it, you answered my question. I am not much of a reader, but this is very wholesome and rich to my eyes. I hope that it is going well with this writing.

IT IS BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION...HOW...THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN CHANGE AND ENLIGHTEN TO THE POINT WHERE WHAT, OR WHO, WE THOUGHT WE KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD BECOMES...A CLARITY BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING. YES, I AGREE INTELLECT IS NOTHING IN THE FACE OF GOD/LIGHT. IN FACT, IT HAMPERS. FOR HIS THINKING IS HIGHER THAN OURS AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH. I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED JOB AND HIS FRIENDS. ALL OF THEM THINKING THEY HAD THE ANSWER AND ALL OF THEM WRONG. GOD WAS NOT PUNISHING. JOB HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG. GOD WAS JUST BEING GOD AND HOW DARE HE BE QUESTIONED?! CERTAINLY, I AGREE...WHEN WE'VE PASSED FROM HERE TO THERE - IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH WHEN WE HAVE DISCARDED THIS EARTHEN SOD THAT HOLDS US CAPTIVE, WHEN MORTALITY HAS PUT ON IMMORTALITY AND HIS LOVE SHINES SO BRIGHT, AS A ETERNAL LIT LANTERN THEN, WE WILL BE BRAND NEW... FOREVER 'CHANGED' AND 'ONE' AS HE ALWAYS WANTED IT TO BE(A GLIMPSE OF WHY HE ALLOWED SIN IN THE GARDEN)...A 'NEW' RACE OF HUMANS THAT'S TOTALLY AND IRREVOCABLY 'IN LOVE' WITH HIM...BY CHOICE! RICHARD, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN CAUGHT UP IN ONE OF YOUR SHARING...FOR YOU DO GO THERE, SO FINE! AND I DO APPRECIATE AND ENJOY IT IMMENSELY. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATION

Job 4:13, Yes that was quite a dream that troubled: E-li'-phas the Te'manite so much. Nonetheless, it's very nice that some of us are reading God's word. Thanks for sharing, Richard!

I love poetry that tells a story, that stirs the imagination with thoughts and ideas and words that tantalize and challenge and beckon the reader to come along on a venture. This poem does all that and more. Even the title of your upcoming book leads me to want to discover where the author has flown off to that allows him to say "when we were human." Wonderful poetry, clever lead in.

As usual, your storytelling and vocabulary is exceptional. My meager assessment is that these two souls that you write about have finally, "seen the light." And, as prophesied, they merged with the second coming. In other words, became godlike.
