The Walmart Poem by Papa

I was walking out of Wal-Mart and people were all over the place... you could just tell they all felt like they are actually what they are doing right then... some walking fast with a puffed chest, others driving in the fancy cars, while others still pushing their cart full of the latest and greatest fulfillment of their desires attained at the holy place of pilgrimage (Wal-Mart)

I could see the sun in the western sky descending upon the 14,000 foot peak of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii... bright and beginning to silhouette the great volcano... but just before the glare, the effulgence of the great giver of warmth and light, huge dark clouds busted forth strong and cool showers...

So much noise, cars, people, smells and sights!

As I walked I felt an absolute deafening silence and witnessed a compelling stillness although every thing was moving and full of sounds...

Am I on Drugs?

No, granted I was a little tired from a long day of driving and work, but not intoxicated!

People are here in the flesh... for sure!

Where does the spirit dwell?

Does any one know?

Does any one really care?

I know of him that is to come... and some how I feel, he's already there for those seek to find... the source and center of the spirit... it's not us... but his love, his life, his light.

Thine is the Kingdom the power and the glory!

Forever and ever

I wish I felt the spirit even heavier, to just crush my deluded heart and press me like ripe grapes in preparation for the feast!

Oh my Lord, pulverize all the filth inside my heart, like wheat becomes flour for the bread, so that those who are gathered for the great feast may eat.

The bread has been broken!

Our eyes have been opened!

The Word has been spoken!

Oh Lord, come restore and renew!
