THE WAY AND THE LIFE

Folder: 
JOURNAL #29

such remarkable cadence

holds such perfect tempo in your stride

a pitch patched pagentry of grace

purpose strolls in

draped so deliciously in a scarf of leisure intent

pure bedevilment takes form

and bespeaks of tales that flutter

at the fringes of truth and immodesty

your lovely voice turns mere words into

spiritual wine

man is deceived and you take his entire vinyard

or so you believe

certainly there is much damage you can do

and have done

but much unbeknownst to you is lost

as in the end everyone knows you lose

you are the antagonist who knows his role

so well right up to the very end

yet that is where the complexity splits

there is an end to your games of mock and

bewitchery

but we of the guarded spirit go on

never to be bothered by the foolish likes

of an offensive you again

that is the beauty of this time we share

on earth

even when in physical danger

spiritually every moment we are safe

the LORD has pathed us an easily

recognizable way

for he is the way and the life

like no other can be................
