The Gem In I

Admonishment of Proverbs 27:17
Brings birth to understanding
          that
Faith sharpens faith
To unfurl portraits of hope
Trust reveals truth

Acknowledging Matthew 24:44
Calls for consumption
         but
Just as fruit ripens
Footprints etch the clay as proof
To follow his lead.

So I begin to brood through Luke 16:9
        while
The unrighteousness 
Touches the believable
Relying on doubt

But I am taught by 1 Corinthians 13
         that
An exquisite glow
Primary to inception
Pleads constant release...
