GAINING GOLD

She sat upon
A pile of gold
Turning to matter
When fingers tried to hold

Her downcast face
Told the story true
She was without hope
Where love grew

Dragons are fierce
But she had no fire
Truth gathered around
Claims of her being a liar

The problem wasn't gold
It was the timing that was wrong
TRUTH without WISDOM
Lacks the power of how to belong

TRUTH spoke to Azalea
Inviting her to drink the water
A river of life sprung up
And revealed, she is the daughter

The TRUTH is purified gold
Delivered through REVELATION
WORD is clothed in WISDOM
Showing identity through all of creation

When the Holy Spirit writes with me, I am just as surprised as any other reader. Christians love to sling Jesus around like a whip to get people in shape, but His true name is WORD. WORD can only be revealed when WISDOM has brought to a place of TRUTH where resonance is aligned with WORD and can be received, then transmitted. What a beautiful operation. I'm seeing it as I type :)
