Patmos Day 10001

(Revelation 21 1)

 

I am here alone

Surrounded by the world

Or so it seems

 

The world tan and blue

The building bleached

In which I rest

Waiting for another vision

 

Testimony

That will not come

I fear

After all

I all learned about

The end of things

 

But there was so little said about

The new

Too brief

The new heaven and new

Earth

How they might be conveyed

For life in the eternal

I want to know

Not as if apocalypse were not enough

It burns the parts of me that

Sight things

Still

 

So I scratch on paper

When I can

A finger in the sand

When there is that

I wait

For them to come

The agents of the Savior

Telling me

 

In perfect love and fear

What to record

That might slip through the web

For all of you to hear

Theophilae
