Purpose Packaged in Peace

Vernon F. McCarty

eyes spiraling upward,
thoughts descending downward,
always looking, yet never seeing.
always thinking, yet never knowing.

enticing worldly wisdom,
tempting golden nuggets of knowledge,
conveying peace packaged in purpose,
nothing more than sugarcoated bile.

direction, fulfillment, satisfying contentment,
anchored in Peace, living with Purpose,
shrouded in Mystery, clothed with Majesty,
wrapped in humanity, All Sufficient Deity.

Miraculous Conception, Sinless Perfection,
Slaughtered Atonement, hanging lifeless on a tree.
Bodily Resurrection, Awesome Ascension, Glorious Redemption,
Wonderful Purpose Packaged in Peace!
