Flashes!

 
Flashes!
 
Satiating fresh air breathe, quick flash, one instant’s passed
Life term predicts one day too soon will come eternal last
 
In final flare of life, time’s snapshots delight dance
Flashed lightning displays tried reach at lucky chance
 
What story painted on a panoramic palette might I see?
Awesome faces! Wondrous places! What could they be?
 
Or Jesus-man in golden glow halo paired Holy Ghost
Pristine place, Pacific blue, beloved beach Oregon Coast
 
Acquaintances encountered, touch and some I knew
Of such myriad tribe I may have even loved a few
 
Before He in white prescribes my fate with judgment placed
Myself decides how well I handled various challenges faced
 
Will then I laugh at the unimportant wraithlike evil feared travails?
Or, dare softly smile satiated with pure value-truth as worry pales?
 
Soothsayer enjoyed wild rainbow of a sixties rockin’ generation
Shouted! “I got it! Lord!” And, freely lived the rollin’ celebration
 
Sojourned some near, then far and golfed and hunted; things a man might do
Loved Nature’s earth, the sun, the snow, ice storms and cooling morning dew
 
And, worthy persons I did love and a limited who held me dear
Pictured best are a precious few within my heart embraced near
 
Breezes cool and showers soft and rainbows chased and butterflies
Noble horses, loyal dogs, independent cats, beasts who speak no lies
 
Not one solitary regret within that cherished album shall I ever find
Faith! Family! Freedom! Focused-virtues in these my times defined
 
In that single instant between the then and now and “Somewhere?” soon
Like living free above it all just south of high sun’s piercing bright noon
 
His Son within the Father’s glow of Grace in Holy Spirit Trinity
A soul to Him, then man developed for true Spirit through eternity
 
No greater love for man than offer this My Honored Spiritual Being
Pleased last review of lightning flashes truly worthwhile seeing. Amen!
