No bundle greater
Love, strength, wisdom, and wrath

Bring the scales
To which ingredient lies your allegiance?

At times I wish I was as the clouds
So welcomed, but also feared at my coming
To bring shade or thunder
But where is the wisdom?
Guided by fickle wind.  

At times I wish I was as the butterfly
A star on earth
So elusive predators scatter when I spread my wings
But where is the strength?
A mere rain drop would destroy me

At times I wish I was an octopus
I can bring down sharks
outwit any human
Nothing is out of my reach
But where is the love?
I hurt my own brethren.

Who balances these ingredients masterfully to create this awesome recipe?!

I’ll tell you. He made fire and the flowers.

No behemoth gets away unpublished to lick their paws in peace!

No eye gets weary of seeing his work.

All beings fear his coming, even the idols dare not be animate.

All adore his qualities, they searched tirelessly for deceit.

He took the venom from vipers as if they bit a sponge and satisfied the flaming sword of heaven.

attempting to balance these ingredients is a mockery.

To choose one over another is death.

To honor the one who held them
Perfectly

That, is to be without hypocrisy

Heavy BLACK
A veil harder than diamond
Similar to space that covers the earth
Morbid black
Elusive like a snake
It’s like quicksand a tiring escape
Attached like hemoglobin we pulsate

I heard talk of the one like The Son of man
They say he is GOOD but not safe

They say His sword never fails
Unsheathed it sounds like hell
The sound will blur your vision
And his steps will make you stumble
Hands on gravel
The earth agrees
It’ll support our descend
The crows cawing louder than your screams
A ****** of them form a man-like being with an opening
Here is your gate and his sword will spill the key
Therefore this wielder always was able to set free!

But not those who ignore and or approve the caw
accepting that BLACK has a place in and with us all

Immersion
Tongue and body
On a summer day, drenched, non-glistening

A Sticky heavy consistency

Running off of me very slowly

Darker than my shadow
I’ve had this flavor before
But now bitter

This feeling of refreshment

Fleeting

An empty

VANITY!!!

What Cistern Causes this!
It Must be Connected to the abyss
Immured
Im discontented
I’m melting
beyond a mans grip

Finally, I will proceed to the constant drip

The incessant calling of those that are His

Tell me, child of light, how can I be submerged in his pupils?

A light blotting darkness

Where is this drip from the sun that walked the earth?

Who dissolved the sicknesses and forgave the unrighteous.

I a mere moth in need of him!

Sun drip again and again and again

Oh sun, drip again drip again and again
