Premium Member Jacobs Ladder

Jacob’s ladder has nodes seven,
which our Father who’s in heaven,
assists us here now to ascend,
if our ego to love we bend,
that by using mind of our heart,
our life purpose on earth may start.

Premium Member Liars' Fate

  Joseph's brothers dipped his coat
    into the blood of a goat

  Jacobs said, My beloved son is surely gone
    That was the robe he had on... 

  Joseph is still alive, the brothers said later
    With that, their integrity cratered

  Jacob disregarded them, they had lied before
    ~ The brothers had gotten what they had asked for

Jacobs Ladder

I don’t climb that ladder anymore,
the one that goes both up
and down.

The rungs were never helpful,
being made for struggle
not for actual reaching.

Some spend a lifetime
looking for just the right ladder,
most end up in dead-air
as fish out of water
struggling to breathe,

it is then I realize
I only have this broken ladder
to offer.

Well of Living Water

By Jacobs well he sat; a stranger to me
I came to draw water for I thirsted so
As I turned to go, he gently said, “Come 
drink freely, I have water for which you do not know.
There are many fountains from where water freely flows, 
but there is only one that can satisfy the soul. 
My fountain flows from on high a well of living water
that shall never run dry ”.
Now I am drinking from a fountain where I will ever abide and 
My soul is satisfied.
