The age of reason: seven
The age of hope: now

- Comment from author about the poem: “The Call” and “Dying” are cut from the same cloth. They are both 5,7,5 haiku poems and a current of meaning flows between them. One poem begins with a call; God’s anxious yearning and call for this youthful age whom seem to be dying of loneliness and depression. God passionately loves them yet they are consumed, nearly blinded, by the many sparkling idols of materialism and the false promises of radical individualism. But God promises his abundant graces anyway; unmerited gifts to even those at the earliest ages capable of discerning basic truths. God desires a revival; a new age where the virtue of hope leads to real, lasting and stable happiness and death to philosophies that imprison the human person and crush the spirit. Indeed, the age of hope is now.

A fine write Gary. I vaguely remember the 'ages of reason'. Is seven the final one? Seven seems symbolic sometimes.
The age of faith will be the golden age truly what need for hope if one has faith? only to hope that others find faith....I have enjoyed your poetry Gary and invite you to read a poem of mine called Deeding Calvary' not necessarily for my own vanity but mostly because I think you might enjoy the biblical aspect as you have obviously studied..PEACE
