As we lose serpent protrusion(carnality)                                          
The mind’s illusion................................................................................c. II Thes. 10-12
By God’s allegoric proprietary, ` Hath
love alluded unto that which protruded

Even as mind `hath bequeathed
The entry into shadow of death
Now through the renewing of the mind
`Doth recede the time line

For to cure all natural ills
As into new body we fill
From the very vile, we file
Into innocent child

So very meek and mile
`Tis a holy child
Thus into unity we file
To fill Love’s child

Thus leaving the vile
Mind of a child
Not so mild
“Wild child”

For `tis God’s call
Humanity climb this wall
The wild’s call
 `Tis the wall

Leaving the vile behind
As we develop Love’s kind
For `tis by Love’s nature
We win life’s wager

For as the mind leads
Parasitic greed, has needs
And `tis always the heart
That mind bleeds

great closer Moses, tis always the heart that mind bleeds. At least the heart cannot be fully bled, I would have done that a long time ago if it could. Instead I keep hovering back and forth, greedy need vs absolute truth, and I end up confused same as I always was.

I especially like the third stanza, John. I'll have a new body Praise the Lord I'll have a new life. In his likeness I'll be glad there will be no more pain and no more strife. Thanks for reminding me. Keep writing. Sara
