"god's Trinity On Limerick"

A Precept Limerick

Precept versus concepts in one’s writing,
Alone, concepts remain__  problems fighting!
  Thus these are the two levels,
  Concepts have not love’s bevel.
Precept is above the problems gliding.

Thus Love’s precept of one’s own opinion, 
Promotes one from being chief’s Indian.
  Problems are below,
  Where strives of wind blow.
Precept answers to Love, concepts break wind.

Concept’s judgments of precept, are inept, 
For natural mind by precept is kept.
  By mind’s vice of verse, 
`Tis no Love disperse.
One’s inspiration is kept of precept!

Interesting one in these Limericks..Oh! what man can conceive while relying on the Holy Spirit to lead him..Oh! what evil man can conceive when relying on the devil or just carnality of the human mind...Good job..Sara

This poem must be read several times and then all is clear and beautiful, I think I am precep(ha ha) because I am always gliding~~

Outstanding trilogy, John. You always write from your heart, the source of love. As you say so cleverly, "concepts break wind." That line made me laugh, but there is some serious wisdom to consider here, my friend. Great work! Love, Carolyn
