Today
I feel obsolete, insignificant, antiquated
like the world has raced past me
swirling up the dust of irrelevancy
I feel that a young person reading
my wrestlings
if they read them at all
would read with a dictionary
as if for 18th century words
long ago evolved
It's quaint they would say
(with a knowing smile)
as they dismissed it
more likely
view it as intolerant and offensive
What should I do?
Keep writing, though I am not sure why
or wave the white flag?
Is my today over
or is it still
Today?
So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts …" Hebrews 3:7
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called "Today" … Hebrews 3:13
God again set a certain day, calling it "Today." Hebrews 4:7
For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2
... the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever. 1 Peter 1:24-25
