Let Truth Through

In peace and quiet, I sit here waiting, For truth that's worthy of relating. I’ve cleared my mind from all distraction, Now it’s ready for interaction. If wisdom is filtered by my mind, Will not be the perfect design. When distorted by an illusion, Even the truth can cause confusion. The truth must flow unaltered through me, Unfiltered truth the people must see. The process requires, transparency, For truth to retain full potency. When it’s not filtered the truth will be, The guiding light that will set us free. No longer misled by illusion, Life will reach its destined conclusion.

Yes it is, Kim. We need to let the Spirit lead, timing is very important. Saying the right thing isn't always the best thing to do. If the Spirit leads, follow ... my motto. :-) Thanks for the visit and comment. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 1 Corinthians 3:18 KJV Great poem, the guiding light is the truth to reveal true knowledge and wisdom, to be pulled out of the chaos of this world and set your eyes above : ). Great inspiring poem , love it

You have wisdom in relating this through this great poem. I am glad you could articulate it so well. I am frustrated with myself so often, missing the mark, grasping Truth, but getting it muddled with my own take on things, or with others' ideas. I trust in God, not myself, I know His truth reigns. I sure don't have all the answers, but I know He does! I love your poem. It has left me contemplating your words deeply.

We all think we know, when in truth we know very little. That is my experience only,it need not be yours or anyone eles’s. There are judgement calls we make, yes. Truth is a giant Philosophical.Arena.to be open to other’s points of views is near a war. Right vs, Wrong. Somethings obviously wrong like murder,yet abortion is fine?do you get my point? Pangie Thinking of you and Sara~ be well. Some poets want the unvaxxed put to death I was horrified.

Bill Baker
Date: 3/5/2023 5:52:00 PM

Yep, I got your point and agree with you, Pangie. Thanks for reading and commenting on the few poems I'm getting posted. Thanks for the thoughts, Sara is getting better every week, she's my PT champion. :-) Have a great week! Bill

Hello Bill. I read your words twice. It is powerful and thought out and true. Yes, when there are clouds we can not see properly thus we can not actually see the truth to make good decisions or the right decisions because clouds truly do alter everything and certainly changes our path and life not for the better to see the light. This is just my intake of course. I hope I am not wrong because you have the true meaning behind your words. Thank you as always. Blessings and peace always.

Bill Baker

Your thoughts are true as can be, Lisa. It's true, each of us can see a poet's line through our own thoughts and needs. I'm just happy if people find something in my poetry that is useful to them in their lives. You're a friend and a blessing, Lisa. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

"When distorted by an illusion, even the truth can cause confusion" Great point Bill. The father of lies (the Devil), the great deceiver, who appears as an angel of light uses his power to hide the truth from the people. Only by the power of Jesus's name can we see through the illusions and find the truth. Thanks for the great write.

Bill Baker
Date: 2/22/2023 1:37:00 PM

Love the comments, Kenneth, thank you Jesus! Smiles and Blessings, my friend. Bill

Only in peace and quiet, wisdom can flow into us. It will make our mind rid of all illusions. Then we will be able to discern truth in all its transparency ! A poem of profound thought, sweetly rhyming too. Stay blessed dear friend Bill....
