REVELATION
2
By
Melissa Hager
after
elevator room installation by Robert Eades
Focus
on God’s beauty
even
descending into the abyss.
Every
roll, dip and sway experienced
is
within Alpha and Omega’s mighty hand.
He
didn’t create the metal tube, engines,
within
which to plunge
into
the storm. He didn’t compel
you
buy the ticket to ride.
Yahweh
gives a world with water,
food,
air, resources for shelter.
As
His gifts are depleted,
to
grant the greed of Adam
and
Eve’s offspring, the snake
gets
the last bite.
But
the devil too will perish
in
an unsustainable world.
