Descort Vision


Skin is thinning, eyesight dimming, absent mindedness is less forgiving. Grace, oh Grace, my gentle surrender, I keep You no longer asunder.


Better than reliable eyesight is clocking out and the corporeal body

gasps its last breath.


The mystery is heavenly infusion:

a Grace to “see” unlike the seeing known 

to us before as human earthlings.


Until then, it’s good to repeat often: we leave our bodies behind, we are soul without body, the separation, the discomfort, making us a little less than the angels.


Angels do not have bodies 

but an infused supernatural 

ability to see, as will we.


Our body, now rather violently decaying until, dust it becomes; a scattering, it’s dusty history securely rooted in Omnipotence and Omniscience so that when the Day arrives, it will be duly gathered from all corners, made new, rejoined to the soul, and forever reign in glory.


New sensual eyes, glorified, now fixating forever on the One True Lover.

Spaces

 

I have everything; 

material riches 


galore! yet there are 

the same thin, infinite 


spaces between them as 

everyone else’s alive. 


many with much, much 

less, find far more


abundantly, joy in these, 

their sparse spaces.

Father Knows Best

 

Infallibly so,

He’s not magical you know,

Impeccable, no.

Gone Fishing

 

(Darrin Creech 1965-2024)


The teen who turns his 

head down when you drive by, wave 

and pray anyway; 

a trophy bass! With royal 

music on the radio, 

sit straight and your head, hold high; 

we’re fishing for men.

A Myriad of Seen and Unseen Things

 

Fuzz-back, black 

caterpillars, 

among the smooth, 


puckered, spotted 

crawlers; myriads, 

strewn along our 


hike seen. but it’s

the invisible, 

unseen varieties, 


high creation, 

tickling one’s 

loftiest thoughts! 


angels guiding 

forces and fields, 

near and far, their 


contemplation, 

drawing unity 

among diverse


people, people God 

Speaks about with 

a human tongue.
