Cleanse Ourselves To Holiness Fearing The Living God - 2 Corinthians 7:1
The Apostle Paul speaks here earnestly
of the importance to be cleansed
from every defilement of sin
clearing the dirt through our spiritual lens
This cleansing comes in God's power
through his divine merciful grace
praying in and through His Holy Spirit
telling of His love in constant praise
Holiness is so important to God
as scripture tells He's triple holy
proclaiming His pure godly

Truth Bared
I stood in front of the mirror
As naked as could be
The goal was to make an estimation of me
I saw eyes
That overlooked truth for lies
In order to prepare a drink
For lips
That greedily sipped
To strengthen breasts
That harbored contention
To energize feet
That blindly followed the path of dissension
I stood in the front of the mirror
After scrubbing vigorously
The goal

Sand
SAND
airborne
dust devil
stinging whirligig
rips my hair, eyes, and skin
I’m well-scoured and abraded
“Cleansing sand storm, if I survive.”

A Forest Soul Cleanse
“And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul.” - John Muir
The forest is a calm spiritual place,
a balsam scented and serene space.
Rabbits hide in mossy dens,
with fresh mushroom gems.
Magical!
Cleanse.
Fanciful,
trees, flowers and stems.
Where creatures sleep and some race.
A place to treat with kindness and grace,
the forest is a calm spiritual

Autumn Cleaning Cleanse Part Two
AUTUMN CLEANING CLEANSE Part Two.
From the birth canal Abated forth out of my mother’s womb;
At this point I was dirty, though they wiped me off with water and a towel cloth;
Still I was unclean now;
Why? Do I delay I callout His name? I draw near to Him with a sincere heart
Fill now of

Autumn Cleaning Cleanse Part One
AUTUMN CLEANING CLEANSE Part One.
It’s time for fall cleaning, a cleansing;
And in this the autumn of my life.
I’m retaking my vessel God has loaned me;
I’m cleaning His house renewing, rejuvenation, revising throwing out;
All things not of Him, Rejoicing in the joys of Him;
Following Him I shall be cleansed and remade new in Him;
This vessel shall

Anger Does Not Cleanse the Wounded Soul
Anger does not cleanse the wounded soul;
Invites no healing to the bosom scarring
By thoughtless word or unintended scroll.
‘Tis more than hurt the mind so marring
Nurtures the malignancy that sears inside
Invites no healing to the bosom scarring—
The constant ache signals the ailing pride
Self-loathing eroding from deep within,
Nurtures the malignancy that sears inside.
More than merely misnomer’d fragile

Its Fate the Rain Found Me
It's fate
The rain found me
It's relentless clicking, tapping, popping
On all it sees
Found me wandering through its grandest symphonies
Serenading me as I dance from
Limb to limb
Leaf to leaf
Life to life
Including my own
Which has been mighty thirsty
For this free, clean quenching drink.

Cleanse Me, Lord
Create a new heart within me Lord.
I pray Thee, renew my spirit,
That when Death comes for me and time is no more,
I will have no need to fear it.
Let me please You in all of my ways,
And let my words not offend Thee;
That when I stand before Your throne,
I'll have no need to fear when
