Flamboyant words in hues of an imagination
Bold and vibrant, trembling
With expressions of enthusiasm, elation
Stimulating the mind, the heart, the soul
With joy, hope, love so alive
It feels like the center of His sacrifice,
Healing the darkness, covering up the past
Forgiving the sins that formed walls
Between the Creator and His created souls

Eager words in breathless kisses
Penetrating the feelings, making a way
Through the edges of each silhouette,
Shadows erasing the mystery – 
Bleeding through the dreams, the belief
With assurance that there is hope,
There is belief – there is grace
That silences even the worst felonies,
The lapses in judgement,
The lustful indulgences – tombs
Wounds that blacken each twilight 
With firefly urgency, sparkling
Like the remembrance – the directions
Written in His book, the word He breathed
From His spirit, His gift to those who
Believe, those who need – directions
Guidelines for the times when struggles
Seem like living proof that He didn’t mean
You would never glimpse pain or expect
The fears to remain, despite the prayer
Prayed, the inspiration – the praise

The sweetest love letter – He sends
Scriptures revealing His gifts to His people,
His promises, His assistance – 
The sweetest love letter… never fail to remember
His spirit is real and it is disclosed…
In the pages of His scriptures, the pages
That always remember – He is a writer we should 
Give all our attention, all our devotion –
All our love and faith, everything that makes us…

Children of the One who convinces…
Every spirit to listen when He speaks His wisdom!
