Depth Perception
I found you in the Mountains
and her streams
not among cherished traditions
where mankind clings
but in the songs of the meadow larks
within the forest and the valley's parks
Oh how excellent are your ways my Beloved
and the course you set is always true
your reflections give light just like the sun
to follow you is the path I'll always choose
My heart swells as the floodgates of the rivers
as a torrent of waters which are undammed
its flow like the tidal's power the oceans
my attention is riveted by their demands
Among men shall I find none like you
or the spectrum of talents you possess
the seeds of inspiration do they empower
and it's influence I wish always to express
You mind moves swift as waves of Light
their energy is formed and fired by thought
your influences governs life by its commands
and the trails of life are in them wrought
Unable am I to ignore all that is you
and the abuses from which I have been torn
that drives and strives excellence to pursue
to escape the slumlords where I was born

Romans 8:4-6
New International Version (NIV)
4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us,
who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh
desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set
on what the Spirit desires.6 The mind governed by the flesh is death,
but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
