Isaiah, the sixty-fifth.

Doug Blair 1951 (London)

Free verse
He caps it off saying
There will be a New Heaven
New Earth.
Righteous mirth
Beautiful bounty
Shall replace the
Long string of error
Rebellion
Messing with neighbours’
Idols and lechery.
Family treachery that
Will soon be gone.
Capture, exile anon.
Babylon.
And then delightful Mercy.
A Suffering Servant
Oversees.
The buy-back.
Our sins laid on Him.
Bleeding and humiliated.
And we, so undeserving.
Jesus governs that
New Place.
No more disgrace.
None.
The Feast of Joy begun.
