Notes About The Poem

Acts 16:14; 2 Corinthians 4:4,6; Ephesians 5:7-8

The image is the "headwaters" that form our "river" and end up in the "sea" of humanity. This influence either pollutes or provides benefits.

The Lamp

Witness man's free will
It happens in his spirit
Which streams form his river
"My breath makes him understand
That he is not supreme."
As the farmer irrigates
Channeling the streams
Likewise the unclean spirits
In darkness man chooses his way
Until the Lamp of the Lord
Lights up his innermost parts
"I am the Lord your God."
He turns it wherever He wants
Witness man's freed will
