Mankind’s Path

I began on a path
clear, straight, and bright

over which doves flew.

It brought me peace.
It made ‘sense’.

It’s ‘direction’
led to ‘specific’ destinations
guiding ‘right’.

I walked along the ‘way’
among a varied few
determined to follow

although, a forest dense
gradually grew…

I became confused…

Some of us
never ‘survived’ through…

“Yes, others received their trial
by mockings and scourgings,

indeed, more than that,

by chains and prisons.

They were stoned, they were tried,
they were sawn in two,

they were slaughtered by the sword,
they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins,

while they were in need, in tribulation, mistreated;

and the world was not worthy of them.

wandered about in deserts and mountains and caves
and dens of the earth.” Heb. 11:36-38.

Then, past ‘high’ branches
I peeked a light.
So I began to trek faster

to gain further ‘insight’:

“That is also why from the day we heard of it,
we have never stopped praying for you

and asking that you may be filled with
the accurate knowledge

of his will

in all wisdom
and spiritual comprehension,

so as to walk worthily of Jehovah

in order to please him fully
as you go on bearing fruit

in every good work

and increasing
in the accurate knowledge of God;

and may you be strengthened

with all power
according to his glorious might

so that you may endure fully
with patience and joy”. Col. 1:9-11; 13-15.

For their ‘wise’ stars have fallen
because of dark thundering skies.
Black night gave many fright.

Now ‘truth’ is conquering ‘lies’.

Why I kept calling out to His ‘name’
after finding ‘true’ delight.

For given admonition:

“Let everyone calling on the name of Jehovah
renounce unrighteousness.” 2 Tim. 2:19.

Which caused this global ‘blight’.

“For “everyone

who calls on the name of Jehovah
will be saved.”” Rom. 10:13.

I continued on this path
stalwartly walking ‘upright’.

Because: “He (Jehovah) rescued us from the authority of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

by means of whom we have our release by ransom,
the forgiveness of our sins.

He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of all creation;”–Jesus Christ.
