abstract muscling

so now we know
that what’s material is important
but what is
unseen is important
too

why things were made this way
we may take up with our
creator
later

ideas
a belief in peace
love

visions
dreams
hope
and faith

and the presence of the Lord
as well as our
unspoken prayers

and
yes
these maybe prompt the material
the moving of solid matter
relying on
the coursing
blood
the muscles of our bodies

things come to mind
anyway
naturally enough
and
we may choose and guide their way
as well

of all the unbodied items that
move through
we
may also choose what
to choose
and then enflesh

meaning
then
to the apologist or
less formally
the friend
we may choose to think on God
to
have that count
as evidence unseen
(you
know)
and maybe to transfer like
any other abstract from
a real
if unsubstantial place
in us
through all dimensions of our being
       vision
       thought
       and flesh
throughout the day
and
to the wonders we’re assured that
should
be following
as after fair winds
       also hard
       to see
       apart from its effects
       that can try
       all our senses

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(Hebrews 11:1, KJV)
