Hourglass Healings





-----------/Acts Chronicles 19 (Pt 1/3): Healing By The Hourglass -The Thoughts Of Paul On Curing The Sick In Asia

Dew on grass is heaven's memorial shrine to blood
sacrifice in the name of our God fleeting morning myst
meritoriously mentions each martyr
by name
accompanied but dissipated by noon though denigrated
by no means however mercifully the Sun burns away their pained memories
while droplets plucked from grass moisten my fingertips
like a tear wiped from my eye staring
at the transference of lights a divers array of
dire darkness and light lively meeting and colluding and compulsorily albeit wearily sharing soft salutations
like averse war generals resigned to honor a preordained treaty
riding in on horses
exchanging duties adjuring all lachrymose languishing lifeless
men to arise and chase after light lest the moon supersede your passion
before the Time. Body tremors at night, spasmodic convulsing dreaming
sweat profuse eyes wide shut restless sleeping I worry
often
about the fallen, the ill and the spirits savagely separate from hope
humbly holding fast to even the slimmest of optimism especially
in cases most severe blindness leprosy and stillborn children
animate my dreams in servile states groveling for help even my
handkerchief (used for hygiene) hunkers down even my aprons aim to assist
while we all still can
let us be saints like our forefathers

Acts 19:8-12
And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
