Thought
Scholars over texts quarrel
Bitter angry words they hurl
Two interpretations of ideal
One is literal and one is real
Messages can’t in text convey
Tone of voice, facial display
Spoken word - eye exchange
Are not reversed or rearranged
Scriptures like letters to decipher
Different from the words of writer
For written lines to be surely true
They match the spoken words to you
Prayer
O Lord, my ego inflates with pride when I try to define truths dryly from the head space. Let me enter the heart space where all I have to do is listen, watch and pray. Talk to me O Lord that I may ever hear the sweet nectar of Thy words.
