I was travelling west .....
to the land of Erris in Mayo;
driving softly secure and all day to spare
when suddenly all my tomorrows tumbled into the car:
Like wispy smoke transported to another shore!
Lifted to a place I never knew before:
A place between heaven and earth where darkness
could not turn off the light:
Where sin retreated as I moved above;
and quietness and confidence filled the car with love.
It was extrication on a mammoth scale
as my identity seemed to weave in and out of God's garden
and His essence filled the skies! I was so alive
{Yet longing never to have to live again}
Some day I may even write about this rapture in a blog:
Some day I may tell a friend "I was snatched away"
A trial run? You laugh and say "A pre launch! O.K. O.K."
But I forget I am but clay
and folks no longer listen to a thing I say!
and Joseph never should have shared that dream ...
and languished in the pit as dead
while his brothers took his cloak and spoke to Jacob 'bout his death
but another Joseph shared his dream and fled:
snatched away into Egypt's night.
And all in all it was a dreamy day .....
I drove the 40 miles back home again
hoping for a re run;
and lingering on the way
But no! Not a thing!
After my Thessalonian fling!
I felt a little like Zechariah
left speechless.. without his blackboard
