A NEW EARTH by Richard Rossi

A New Earth came about after covid. 

For the truly spiritual who know God. 

Some stayed at home, reading Bibles and books that nurtured their souls. 

And as they were renewed, they made the earth new. 

They exercised and rested, 

And nested. 

They no longer wrestle, 

They nestle In God's peaceful, everlasting arms. 

Being still and knowing 

That He is God working all things together for their good.

They spent more time with family and friends, 

So a New Earth begins. 

 

They had time with the ones they love. 

Not working furiously in the push and the shove. 

They laughed and loved 

Made art from above 

Meals, Movies, Books and stories 

Of Great glories 

They learned new ways of seeing 

And new ways of being 

 

God taught them NEW things as they were sequestered 

And the earth was made NEW. 

Old things passed away and all things were made new 

As they meditated 

Contemplated 

 

Some were fooled by dark demonic shadows 

Of religious fear. 

False conspiracy theories 

That made people weary. 

 

But those who knew the Shepherd's voice 

Rejected this dark choice 

Of fear that tried to make them Distrust 

Distrust Doctors 

Distrust God 

And even distrust themselves 

 

Those who heard the Good Shepherd's voice 

Realized churches aren't really closed. 

They can't be, you see

For the church is you and me 

Wherever there are two or three 

 

As they thought differently 

They were healed 

Revealed 

Ready to help birth 

A New Earth 

The earth began to Heal 

And Reveal 

The Revelation Of Jesus 

And His salvation 

 

They grieved those who passed 

And healed the earth at last 

By turning from fear 

To Perfect Love 

Who is always there 

Casts out all fear 

And made the NEW EARTH 

Finally appear
