With the area
Cleaned and swept
They came to see
How good company is kept
With drinks and cheese
Fruit and veggies to boot
Pull up a chair
And let's count our loot
....hold up...
Something's....off
My heart isn't connecting
...no, is resisting
The company at my table
"Oh, now, who are you
To judge company
Not nice to label...
.....your friends."
"My Love, I call upon your name
See if there be any wicked way between us
Reveal any lies my faith buys
And line up my WORD and DEED with what God loves."
Suddenly, LIGHT shone upon my guests
And I saw them as hindrances to my quest
I called them out, by name
Pride, Deceit, Lust and Shame
.....be gone...I don't need you anymore....and never come back
They left my garden
The table and chairs, disappeared
I was left in silence
With my inadequacies and fear
....of being noone
It took forever to SEE
The company I used for warmth and cover
Guarding against my vulnerablity
Of being discovered
~as a fraud~
The more I walked with Love
The more pronounced was the rejection
Of every satisfaction
I gave myself in a fear connection
Reciprocity Velocity
I'm entitled to all I could possibly desire
Scratching the allergic itch
That fuels the passion to a roaring fire
After all the company was unpacked
Revealed lies that I could ever lack
....Jesus took me underground
I saw the gray roots
Feeding the poisonous fruit
....as Love opened up the well He found
....."Spring up ole well, within my soul..."
