I wanna talk about love

 

I wanna talk about love

 

Speak on its splendor

Reflect on its beauty

 

I wouldn’t be able to escape the guilt if I did

 

The world a blaze with injustice

Sparks and embers next door

 

Rights made

Uncivil

 

Civilities become less

Liberal

 

Morality of a few

Made law

For the many

 

I wanna talk about love

 

Speak on its splendor

Reflect on its beauty

 

I wouldn’t be able to escape the guilt if I did

 

So many people live deceptions

The rest can not attain an accurate perception

 

So many people impoverished

I wonder if there is enough wealth to help

 

So many people kept in a state of ignorance

I wonder if the mass of them would want the light of truth

 

So many have given up

So many have given in

 

Learned to justify wrong

In the name of right

 

Learned to survive

 

But

Have no idea

 

How to be alive

 

I wanna talk about love

 

Speak on its splendor

Reflect on its beauty

 

I wouldn’t be able to escape the guilt if I did

The Order of Coldingham

 

Priorities confused

Thought process abused

 

We believe lies because they smell true

 

Put to the test

They stack and fall like the rest

Left alone they become unquestionable

 

We believe lies because they smell true

 

When all is said and done

Night has become Dawn

When asked why

We can only answer

 

We believed lies because they smelt of  true

Revelation

Don’t be confused
or even question your understanding.

What flows from your heart
and stops at your lips
is
What has been made clear.

Comprehending the divine is not the mind’s purpose.

Understanding with the heart takes time.

What you seek
you’ve already found.

The problem is

YOU

want to make sense of it.

Whatever it is
it will be.

I’ll give you a hint.

What you want

IS NOT

Understanding

Smoke & Mirrors

Confusion

The blight of a conscious mind.

A pox upon a faithful spirit.

able to comprehend
and reason
like nothing else in creation

 

Yet

some say to reason about creation

to ask questions of the creator

is the same
just as kin

as to question the creator.

 

And that is said to be most horrific of a sins.

Confusion

 

We lean not on OUR OWN understanding.
We walk by FAITH and NOT BY SIGHT.

How could we ever get to true understanding if we did not question
the flaws of
and in
OUR OWN
and seek higher than it?

Higher than those around us that claim to know.

 

If told to move
one has to ask

“Where?”

 

otherwise we remain still.

By faith we ask
By faith we receive
By faith we walk.

 

Confusion

not question

 

is the enemy of faith

 

Confusion

not question

 

opens the door for ignorance and doubt.

Confusion is the dark
Question is the door leading the way
Faith is the answer that brings understanding and revelation.

 

The light is not blissful ignorance but a faithful knowing
to any question
we receive
a faithful answer

All will be made clear
seek and you will find
knock and the door will be opened

 

Ask and it will be given to you.
