+ 9TH POEMS: θυσίαν αἴνεσις, In Anticipation Of My Own Repose In Christ, Probably Sooner Than Later

I thank You, Lord Jesus, for the way Faith prevails,

as it brings out of chaos, numerous---but now well ordered---details.

that now provide a matured interpetation.

I thank You that, after my final taken breath

on earth, I will see You as You are:

and, without the least hesitation,

I shall woship You, the bright and morning star,

the Redeemer of my life and the conqueror of my death;

and the Cosmic Lover of my soul.

In that Heavenly, starward worshipping, my soul's chief exultation

will be the joy and delight of Salvation---

experienced, in Your Kingdom, in full.


Starward-Led

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The fifth line alludes to 1 John 3:2.  The seventh line quotes Revelation 22:16.  I wrote the tenth line with the whole Song Of Solomon in mind.
