Anil Deo Poet Rhyme

For Anaya, Anil, Anyone I Am

I
A day I do not feel shalom
Note it, not knock it, gloat over it
Between His promises & impatient me
Time knocks on my head, my entirety
I say: the symptoms are not ME
I am somebody being remade by Trinity

II
The twin tools: detach and attach
I had it backwards; but in the bad patch
I recall: I am more than my problem
Jesus overcame so much, & pettiness
He was of Higher Ground, under duress
He seemed to bless, fewer times, CURSE
Never holding back for Spiritual address

III
Matthew, chapter 23 gives us a list of Jesus's curses especially for "religious" leaders, who excelled in pushing newcomers away: WOE

Debra L Brown February 15, 2022 at 6:13 PM Brother Anil, As a member of the body of Christ, when one member falls victim to the wiles of the devil, we all suffer. You are a pastor,  the devil will attack you first. Some scripters to pray about. Ephesians 6:11-24. Praying for you my Brother....Debra

Valsa George February 8, 2022 at 8:43 PM Sad that you feel different today as if you have fallen out of the peace and grace. Know it is just a fleeting moment ! God will let you spring back to your former grace. My prayers..... dear brother

Bill Baker February 8, 2022 at 4:46 PM A heartfelt offering of the way of a kindhearted person. Sad that Love is always challenged by evil or fear. Thanks for sharing, Anil. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

M. L. Kiser February 8, 2022 at 1:49 PM Sad, I don't think times have changed much; there are so many today that still push people away. Good depth to this.

Lisa Ricci February 8, 2022 at 6:45 AM Anil Anil Anil - I will touch this entry because it breeds sadness with feeling. Read back your words and you will see. It is a very dark day when there is no Shalom be it written spoken or felt yes felt. All me to let your words speak of this moment and time as you write your entry................
