What is to come

After Romans 8:12-25

What we have now

cannot be compared

to what is to come.

From its deepest soul,

creation groans

in anticipation

of what will be.

Creation aches 

to be set free

from its bondage

to the darkness,

to the corruption

to enslavement.

The groans are those

of childbirth, intense,

increasing in power

and frequency, a wave

heralding what

is to come.
