SUPERSTRUCTURE

Shirley Selby

Noah knew
not just an ark, wooden, lifeless
saved him from the flood.

Secure structure on spiritual foundation
crafted of obedience
fitted by humility
sealed through consecration

floated him
freed him
proved him
Real substance, safety, salvation revealing.

Noah knew
a temple to God, daily constructed, perfected,
saved him from the flood.
