Of Sunlit Scrawl...(and something we all have in common)

 What in the world?!

Just one more day and February is done?!

It feels like it has just begun!

...and yes, the sun is scrawling on 'burnished mead', (don't you LOVE it?:)

not a white spread-sheet of hill and dell as we would assume for Canadian February!

Enjoy, because we know it can change in the blink of an eye!

How we spend these last two days of February will vary

but one thing we all have in common...

This madrigal of sunlit scrawl

On burnished mead and blue-brushed bars

Soft-pours from molds of green-blush-golds

A highway threaded through the stars

This elemental filament

That leads not to, but through the grave

Weaves from the floss of gain and loss

An exodus we all must brave

This paradox of doors and locks

And clocks that mark the march of years

Rallies a staid, formless brigade

That sallies forth and disappears  

This thoroughfare of care and prayer

And wall-less waiting rooms of hope

This interplay of night to day

Of hold, let go, of yup and nope

...since time began can vex the plan

Of man to man and dust-to-dust

As shadows fall to snuff the scrawl

That leads us all to That Last Must

 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body,
whether good or bad.

2 Cor.5:10

...another thing we all have in common is the everlasting love of God!

John 3:16  
For God so loved the world, 
that he gave his only Son, 
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

 ...the Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, 
but is patient toward you, 
not wishing that any should perish, 
but that all should reach repentance.
2 Pet.3:9
