The Guest of a Sinner
'The Guest of a Sinner'
“The Guest of a Sinner”
The guest of a sinner
climbing heights to
righteousness
away from titles
above the crowd,
and
unrealistic expectations
solely to meet with God
in flesh and bone
spirit and soul
I, invite the divine
to sit and dine
look me over flaws
and sin
with prayer that
God hears and
mends me from
within
Try as I might,
to pay it forward
my
tithes for sin
unbalanced scales
eyes to heart
knocking and
seeking seven fold
every door
just to get in
peering into the dark
feeble attempts to
glimpse at the light
egos do blind and
bind sight eight times
throughout the night
hem and garment
a
guesthouse deemed
worthy by name
like Zahchias in
tree tops
yearn for salvation’s
service
the guest in
a sinner’s house
the spirit must
eat
life after death
while looking east
of Eden into
the new Jerusalem
my impression
of improvement
in imperfect
temples
the guest of a sinner
that all things be
made complete.
