i.




The Set-Apart Spirit: I will die pursuing You.

I need examples of Your words.
I know You simplify them for me,
No picture has lent justice
To whatever You may mean.

Uncrumple paper-faces
I, persuaded by imperatives
Was seduced by decoys, by dead-ends
But I will sit and wait instead.

Patience so I suffer long,
Aversion so I occupy,
Embracing seasons, presently:
Your teaching, of my
Submission to Your love
and grace.

You bring the Sword after the softword
Piercings to my pride--- and alas,
Hope.

Change and more chiselling
Required for transformation...

Lord, I love You
and
I will obey this time.
