 Ninth Day By: Noah Eaton 4/20/03 One day Jesus walked from Nazareth To offer the eyewitnesses and ministers theophany In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God The Word happened to be God too apparently He saw the world put into an infernal disorder After seven days of peace while He watched over All in one day after He flew through the stars all became lascivious Came back the next day to commiserate from His alter Feels like this ninth day never seems to end So I want an apple that hasn’t been condemned I want a hand to lift me up from this rubble I need a reason for why we must go through all this trouble And as the world keeps turning I won’t give up And as the truth is hiding I won’t give up  One day there was a man sent from God, his name was John Baptized the Lord with water and made witness to our light Stepped out into Galilee to introduce Himself to His brethen Taught men to hear with their ears and see with their eyes Then the heathens feared for their lives and sacrificed you Still I can feel your blood-stained tears deep down With all those who transgressth in the shadows of the deceivers Tends to break my heart from the inside out Feels like this ninth day has gone on for ages I want a reason for how things have to be I want a tourniquet to suppress the blood loss I want a perception for what all this means And as the world keeps turning I won’t give up And as the truth is hiding I won’t give up  When Diotrephes is still lurking in the shadows Through this epoch and the next When Zacharias is sitting hopelessly outside the hospital Praying if Elisabeth will ever give birth again When the law of Moses is broken and grace is forgotten When no saint can verily say anything When our children can’t go outside to breathe the elusive lily In the face of murmurers and complainers who are always faltering Secure our inheritance Pull us out of the fire Manifold my blessings Your interpretation is all I aspire And as the world keeps turning I won’t give up And as the truth is hiding I won’t give up And as the world keeps turning I won’t give up And as the truth is hiding I won’t give up I shall preach among the Gentiles Sojourning your lost footsteps in the sands… Awaiting for this long ninth day to pass...   And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery. ***Shakira*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (04-20-2003 08:43 PM).] |

My goodness... I must say, I think this is one of your best. You encompass much of human history in your poem, and you do it so well. I love how you compare and contrast the present to the past. You remind me of Elie Wiesel, especially in the part where you talk about Elisabeth giving birth again... thank you so much for this, it'll go in my library. Oh, make me Thine forever |

Noah, A most magnificent and exuberant display of art as well as raw and then again, yet seemingly, pure and impartially undefiled emotion. I do love how you search and aspire into the great beyond to bring home such bold and inclusive evidences of the powers of nobility upon the Great White Throne and I am equally amazed how you display the broken humanity of Christ here.... Oh, along with some other Bible characters, you bring the first chapter of John so beautifully into Light... Yes, God did most certainly become flesh and dwelt with us in the image of mankind. Everything here as you have displayed it is most excellent and I do thank you my friend for once more sharing your talent here with us and may God bless you and keep you ever near and tender to His heart. -Bob |

Mistletoe Angel, I appreciate the sheer work/effort that went into this. Crafting a poem can require some sweat, eh? And then there are those that just seem to roll off of the writer unto the page/monitor. Love, LayItDown |
