Heart-to-Heart




How real is he
do you feel

his words

as sweet honey
a healing to weary bones?

Did eyes, heavy hearts rise
heaven-high

as warring body torn
immerged

reborn
to live life selfless;

as really free

liberated to eternity

whether heavenly or earthly
it should prove to be?

Or would you rather be left alone
to agonize through horrific storms

dark, angry

too cold?

Everyone's tragedy
food for soul?

Black or blue or red meat
pummeled

you watch or initiate
bold.

Wicked rivalry do you prefer

to consort, distort, report propaganda
to divide

hiding cruelty,
slickness

snide inside

crawling
slithering

ungodliness
to abide?

A sparkling mirror
miraculously leaned

in one's midst
reflects an image

either tainted or clean.

Reveals motives
proper and pure
or satanically mean.

Yes, makes a distinction
in between: the righteous or the wicked.

"Draw close to God,
and he will draw close to you.

Cleanse your hands,
you sinners,

and purify your hearts,
you indecisive ones."

Is this admonition gratifying?

How real is he
do you feel

his words

a sweet healing to weary bones?

Or rather we be left alone to our vices?

We must develop an appetite
for healthy phrases

plus
nature's arts

our loving Creator
does magnificently

impart.

From this day forward
make a start:

A relationship with God.

Heart-to-Heart.

If you please.
