Route Sixty-Six

 

In a garden long, long ago…

A story of innocence betrayed

Creation complete

Sweet fruits of love

When Adam met Eve

 

Knowledge is good

Teased the Serpent’s tongue

The bond of trust now broken

From Eden departed

Along Route Sixty-Six

 

Along the Exodus trail

Wandered God’s chosen

Tired, hungry, sunburnt by day

And in darkness frozen

‘Better in bondage’ they began to wail

 

Prophets and Kings

Signposted the way

Past Calvary’s crossroad

On man’s darkest day

 

Genesis, one, ascending

Revelation, Sixty-Six ending

Book by book through history’s trail

God’s highway of hope told its tale

Certificate U
Poem
Infinity and Beyond
Spiritual

Intriguing, Graham! I looked up about the US Route 66. I was reminded of making a sticker for kids as a logo saying 'I know the best 66 books!'.

Certainly the Book (of 66 books!) gives the message for all of God's road to Calvary to rescue from the foolish rebellion, and the life we can receive because of it – bound to him but free from the bondage to sin (as for them from slavery in Egypt). and  to eternal glory with him. Rhiannon
