Yahkiyah Yisrael Poet Quatrain

Those Little Foxes

Vines blossom 
leaving the youth behind
Starting from the bottom
grows thick strong vines 

the gardens so alive
a place of comfort & pleasure
such a nice place for a King to provide
for his Queen of forever 

Take care to guard your space
Protect it from things large and small
let nothing corrupt this place
let nothing defile it at all 

but the King did nothing to protect and was blind to deceit
the little foxes delved under the fence
and on the vines, they begin to feast
indulging on its sweet contents

Those crafty little foxes are spoiling the vine
Bringing on pride, jealousy and anger
poisoning our mind
& putting the vineyard in danger

Those clever little foxes are spoiling the vine
Stunting the growth of hope, dreams, & longevity
All things divine
Those little foxes seek to destroy me

Chase away those little foxes
that spoil the vine
they are so obnoxious
they want to destroy everything divine  

Songs of Solomon 2:15
