"For he makes his sun rise on the evil
and on the good, and sends rain
on the just and on the unjust."
-- Matthew 5:45, ESV
"[H]aving a hope in God,
which these men themselves accept,
that there will be a resurrection
of both the just and the unjust."
-- Acts 24:15, ESV
and on the good, and sends rain
on the just and on the unjust."
-- Matthew 5:45, ESV
"[H]aving a hope in God,
which these men themselves accept,
that there will be a resurrection
of both the just and the unjust."
-- Acts 24:15, ESV
The pre-rain gloom
glazes everything gray
all fall down
all rise up
flowers and weeds
nourished
by the same rain
fire and steel
bloom into
ash and rust
clouds clear to shine
the sun fades worn hope
warms faith
eyes-closed darkness
feeds despair
rotting soul and heart
life is hard for all and ends
but not all ends are the same
