Axios! (For Kevin…)

Sometimes the night is beautiful,
But sometimes it drifts so far away
From us and from the longing of our
Hearts, from our desires and our dreams.
But take inventory, my friend, look to
That sky and be reminded that you
Gaze upon those same stars shown
To Abraham, and that one of those stars
Was lit long, long ago, predestined as a
Powerful symbol that you are here at
This year, this day, this hour, this moment
For a reason, and should you ever stumble,
You will never be beyond reach. That where
You are is where you are meant to be and
All will come to pass in its proper time.
That the speed bumps of life serve only
To provide a pause, not to stall our
Purpose. And there amidst the chaos,
There still rises a pillar of cloud by day,
A tower of fire by night, settling our steps
Forward to a more perfect place, a
Higher call, for this time of our passing
Is but temporal and only a shadow of
Glories to come in our eternal reunions.
I have all faith that through this you will,
As sung by a modern prophet,
Continue to work to give faith
Hands and feet, and through that
Will instead give it wings.

To you, and to the world, I say now
Axios! He is worthy indeed.
And hierarchies and establishments may
Engage in barter and trade and politics,
May relish traditions and trappings,
But at the core, they are all the product of
Man, and should the divinity choose,
All that has been constructed shall come
To pass and a new order is designed.
For even the Levites can be succeeded
By Melchizedek, and a new path is provided.
And as you seek your answers and guidance
Take heart and find comfort in this simple but
Powerful benediction I now bestow upon
You and your broken and humbled heart,
Love has come and it has given to all of us
Hope to carry on. Selah.
