‘Renewing of Spirits’

…So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.―2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Renewing of Spirits

an old concept
being introduced
bringing on new produce
from something reduced

as one being's servitude
hold-heartedly and true
gaining altitude
with a willing aptitude
and extreme gratitude
from the collection‒
pocketing wealth
like one drinks booze

then comes in the interlude
where fame and fortune
lies on the noose
‒slowly down
they begin to loose

the world has overcome them
with its careful seduce

there is a obtrude
if they so‒
stand accused
‒accept the ridicule
maybe even
a little abuse

sell all their possessions
give away all their money
feed the hungry
shelter the poor
fight for the weary at heart

do all things through
the Son† of the Creator

then…slowly
back into the assembly
you'll be introduced

He† can strip you
during the prelude
cure all that's been bruised
but you first
must infuse
before He† adduces
you
into Love that's true
