+ 1ST POEMS: Unto The End Of This Last Stage
Then said He unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
---Matthew 13:52
To terminal heart failure, I am resigned
to my body's rather rebellious, unfailsafe fate
as I approach an old age, in years,
of all of three score and eight.
Through my own fault, my stock has declined:
but the antidote to all existential fears
is this fact, which is no wishful thinking whim:
that anything that can be honestly achieved
is accomplished in Christ, and only though Him
to those of us---Christians---privileged to have believed;
and only in Christ to have received
the enjoyment, as Saint Habakkuk says, of Salvation.
And this, which shall be our souls' chiefest---eternal---exultation;
and my poetry's main and foremost inspiration.
