Sugar Words

Don't protect me with your sugar, your honey, and your sweet desserts. My body, this body rejects them with itchy skin and an itchy heart. Don't protect me with that glaze layer, the blanket of sooth sayer. When the real story is easier to know. Straight and direct. No powdered confect. I want the meat and the reality... Not the detour and soften blow. Because you know, when we find out the truth we don't believe truth under your sweet tooth. We are the cavities of your hypocracies... So gimme a little floss and some detafris and I'll be on my way with this forgiveness list. Because now I'll trust what I hear from the one I hold so incredibly dear. Because he may justify, but he doesn't hide a lie with frosting and sprinkles. He delivers with justice even if he wriggles and writhes. He is unable to lie like me... unless slightly unconsciously. But that is our intention here... to become the clear conscious Christ. So whatever hides in the shadow we pull into light with diligency and love to Be. So forgiveness ahead because you don't feed me sugar words only sugar in my coffee and too much salt in my eggs. I love you, Amen.
