bag of spiders,
lair contained,
unless
shaken and poured
it’s raining spiders -
spiders reigning…its a downpour
bag of spiders, spidermen
weaving webs - oh what wild webs conceived
spiderlings take rappelling lessons -
humans repelled by sticky wickets…
a trampoline buffet.
lacy architecture unique.
Eight Leggers Grill capitalizes
on an insect infestation.
bag of spiders, they’re no cocooned butterflies.
arachnid’s legs running loose, climbing
into cracks, crevices and corners,
on the loose…

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith ... Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."

Paul prayed in Ephesus for the Ephesians who were in an infant CHRISTian church. My 1973/1984 ZONDERVAN (US edition) of the NIV (New International Version of the Bible) only capitalizes Spirit, not "he" for God. In a way this is consonant with the Gospels (John chapter 14, is the best corollary): that Jesus said it is best He leave earth, and intercede for humanity at the Father's Right Hand, while the Holy Spirit will continue the teaching He (Jesus) had begin. It is true we live in the ongoing Pentecost (Acts, chapters 1-2) which is the Age of the Holy Spirit since Jesus ascended after some 40 days after crucifixion and Resurrection (Easter). 49 days after "Easter" we celebrate the birth of the church in the holiday you may know as PENTECOST SUNDAY.

How deep is your love
Love offers, sacrifices
Out of fearful darkness as a bright light, love arises
Love compromises, love advises
Love capitalizes, centralizes You
Love exercises and legitimizes You
Love doesn't jeopardize, or terrorize
Love doesn't lobotomize, love moisturises
Musicalises - Love doesn't parasitizes
or scandalizes -Love sympathizes &
emphasises - Walk in love
Offer and sacrifice yourself - Love each other
Love each other thermally - Love builds
Don't love by word, nor with your tongue
But love in work and truth - Not in theory,
but in practice - Serve each other through love
Let your love be genuinely true

Village
Village,
Dwellings of brick and stone,
Eclectic styles with greener grass.
Cobblestones and glass windows,
Hidden truths behind closed doors.
Banker,
Shrewd abstract thinker,
Disdains those considered inferior.
Petitions order and obedience,
Capitalizes coins to promote dignity.
Butcher,
Proponent of meat,
Cuts and slices remorseless.
Shamelessly promotes false cuts,
Blade sharp, yet serrated.
Baker,
Reserved and disciplined,
Hot ovens scorch bread.
Concerns himself with rising dough,
A clouded vision of flour.
Seamstress,
Premeditative patterns of gold,
Commoners enjoy 'faux' creations.
Darns calculated and devious,
Spins and weaves while cutting cloth.
Teacher,
Divinity of life lessons,
Educator of consequences.
Continuous support and encouragement,
Leads by example.
Every Village has a home....
Every Home has its village.
