Rutherford a Series of Phrasis Part 1 Recited

A RUTHERFORD PHRASIS 1 Alas,alas he came one hour, dried up my flower.Weep and sigh, for fruit here is salted and seasoned with sin.White and ripe are we for the Lord’s harvest hook,we rarely listen and read His book.Sweetness and sadness, pain and joy live together in the daily web where sweetness is with bitter,said;hedged in by thorns we still seek warm fire under ice.Then He drops words in our ears and feeds our hunger with a kiss shaken by winds our root holds fast to His fair and never withering tree.The day sky breaks and Comfort speaks and allures with feasts of love.Wisdom devised its love,lays it on, sweet experience of consolation erase afflictions song and greets those to whom the kingdom belong. An phrasis verse of Samuel Rutherford using phrases selected from his letters. No 4;11;19;35;37;39;55;56;185;226;318 *A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s(not a poet) to compile unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase. Listen to me read this phrasis of mine on youtube under the name ichthyschiro
