Communication within

2 Corinthians 13:5 Put yourselves to the test to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize regarding yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless, indeed, you fail the test! Examine yourself daily: Communication within

 

To describe what makes me tick. Do I have the vaguest?

Can I see who I should be … if at all I make some sense?

Or is that when I receive … all the information needed,

that I’ve got to deal with called: “process of intent”?

 

The spirit is like electricity joined in one with God.

The light it provides is the point where I and “me” meet.

My spirit meets my soul … and it tries to enlighten,

that part that’s only darkness and hangs by its own feet.

 

The wire that conducts the energy to the lamp of wisdom

is the most brittle … and not insulated at all.

It is made of material … that I call the body.

enslaved in the world’s consciousness … an example of the fall.

 

The generated power … surely comes from the outside

and is all the supply I need … to lighten up my soul.

The bulb that never shone before flickers like a candle

and the heat the light generates can’t be kept indoors.

 

As it travels on the wire the energy meets resistance

for it is a foreign substance that moves on the outer core.

What if the flickering light … quietly gets diminished

and the memory of it becomes an illusion behind a door?

 

Could it be that every time … as I glance in that direction

I may think to have the light … as I saw it there before?

Is life is not a picture … that is painted with affection

by self or others to show in me … the reflection of the Lord.

 

There would be no guessing in a world of total darkness

for the smallest ray of light would appear like a lightning bolt.

But with so much artificial likeness … it becomes confusing

as it seems that most progression … has been put on hold.
