Never Alone


Never Alone


In my weariness
I dropped many tears

too tired to peer through
memories

thinly veiled as a bride's face
temporarily concealed

though many years I saw/received spontaneous replies
when sincere cries needed encouragement, validation or comfort
because of deaths severing bonds

momentarily
in tragic goodbyes;

when touch was not able to be physically felt
a heart still melted in joy or pain when known
sensations shared across spaces in planet same
we rose to feet again and again

after persecutions severely delt;

thankful even when crippled or maimed;

we taste, feel, smell individually
as we stand unitedly

envisioning futures collectively
as we run a race singularly
to gain a prize priceless:

Forever to remain.

We are never alone
though not in a crowd
or with two or three

even in darkness confined
for what's perceived an eternity
when situations crumble us into humbled clay

not proud.

We must raise our eyes and hearts to be
enlightened by mountains, stars, skies, and sea.

"Who has created these things?" Isa. 40:26.

The horse or athlete in his vitality?
The ceaseless tides in their regularity?
The heat of the sun in its intensity?
The Milky Way and other billions of galaxies?


Only One Supremely All-powerful Almighty:

“May you be praised, O Jehovah . . . throughout all eternity.

Yours, O Jehovah, are the greatness and the mightiness and the beauty and the splendor and the majesty,

for everything in the heavens and on the earth is yours.

Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah.

You are the One exalting yourself as head over all.

The riches and the glory are from you, and you rule over everything, and in your hand there are power and mightiness,

and your hand is able to make great and to give strength to all." 1 Chron. 29:10-12.

So in my weak moments
I then do recall this

which does on meditation daily insist . . .

I am never alone.
Even in my future demise to briefly desist.

For your desire or wish is: "You will call, and I will answer you.
You will long for the work of your hands." Job 14:15.

Back to life endless in peace and tranquility
never alone to joyfully persist.
