Beata Agustin Poet Imagism

WORTHY GEM

Close up and behold gem of worth
Gargantuan with respect to value
Defying dirt from mother earth.

Through microscope midst vibrant light
Lens reveal precious treasure
Iridescent, glowing against dross’ blight.

Under microscope divine, held graciously magnified
There am I, faith-polished by the Creator’s hand
To fulfill His assigned role, as precious stone* beautified.


*1 Peter 2:5 - Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

The microscope shows true flawnesses in his design. Shows that in His loves potential for us the microscope kaleids with a view of our destiny in the body of Christ. "To fulfill His assigned role, as precious stone beautified." Very lovely poem and offering of spirit.
