Those who were
With God
In the beginning
Will be with him
In the end
St. Matthew 20:16
“So the last shall be first, and the first last…”
Revelation 22:13
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”

That which was
Came from
What it would become
But what it would become
Came after what it was
Now how could that be?
If what it was
Came from
What it would become
Then what it would become
Would have to come before–
Not after–
What it was
So how is it
That which
Came before
Comes after
St. John 1:15
“…He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me”
St. Matthew 19:30
“But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.”
In linear time
There are those
Ahead of us
And those
Behind us
But when we unite
And stand in a circle
There is not one
In front of
Or behind another
But rather
There is always
Someone
Beside you
Life is not linear
It is eternal
And no matter
What path we take
We will end up
Where we started
Revelations 22:13
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”
From what point of view
Do we see things
From the end of time
Where we are now
On the outermost edges
We reflect back
To the beginning
And all in between
In the depths of time
We are the furthest yet
From the beginning
But can see it the clearest
Until we see all sides
Until all the facts are in
We cannot draw a conclusion
Until we have seen it all
We cannot make a judgment
Against the original sinner
She who was in the beginning
Where we are now
St. Matthew 7:1
“Judge not, that ye be not judged.”
Revelation 22:13
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”
