Then Shall We Travel Not That Way

“Then shall we travel not that way

Our destination guarantee

As all-but-promised destiny -- ? -- 

Nor shall we travel not that way

To glimpse but once how Heaven lay " ? "

What miracle?  What mystery?

What spectral sky?  Celestial sea?

Would God such journey turn away?”

“God hears us, child -- all -- all we ask --

But gives us not for earthly task

To prate of angel -- Heaven see "

Far greater labor gives us He:

To work for Peace -- for Peace to pray...

Then shall we travel not that way?”

David : You raise a lot of good spiriyual poems in this write and sheds light on the spiritual vs. the material for the former are the lasting ones like love and peace and joy...Good thought provoking piece.

we pray too often for worldly things...we need to get more spiritual...give more love...

life isn't about "things"!

Jacob you are a wise person. I appreciate comments like yours. It's difficult for some -- me too -- to not want THINGS; I learn the old lesson over and over again. It's not about THINGS -- at least some persons know that! --David - See
