The answer is at hand when laughter is canned
And we are returned to the sand
Salt of the earth to salt of the sea
A single grain of salt is what life be on evolution's tree...

(aka Merçi à Lot)

God has a strict measure of worth
As well as a Jew's sense of mirth
God once said to Lot,
"You know what you've got?
Your wife is the Salt of the Earth!"...

Call of the wild
On the brink
Nip it in the bud
Salt of the earth
Easy on the eye

A drop in the ocean
The olive branch
In the nature of all living things
O
Nothing like it on earth...

They bake in the sun
until their skin is a blueish black
their stomach mimicking the moon
flour, yeast, water, almost a bread makes
they, are the salt of the earth.

You are a pure authentic human
Thats what I love about you
You just say it how it is
Salt of the earth through and through

No airs and graces
No meanness in your soul 
A genuinely kind being
Happy and whole...

Mother- Educator,
mother- fortress,
mother - odd,
mother nurse,
mother teacher,
mother - loving,
mother - regenerator,
mother - eternal...
salt of the earth, light in the world,
infinity of tenderness
God's representative source of love!...

PEANUT BUTTER MARRIED JAM---


If peanut-butter married, Jam
Would that make them: Marmalade;
And if you were to throw seasoning out on to the dirt;
Would it then be…the SALT OF THE EARTH;

Rain fill this grave
soften bones that have been so brave;
your heart will hear my chord so simple
bloom an echo sweet and gentle;
to grow as life between the grass
guiding the sun and moon to pass;
listen for my voice is soft and light
a lingering nocturne in the night....

She lives just down the street from everyone.
Older couples like to talk about her over coffee.
She is the salt of the earth, golden shafts of wheat
waving in wind. She walks her dog, and it sits.

The salt of the seas
sacred in nature...
the salt spice of life
that sweetens our existence...
Albumin, salt of tears
that we cry with blissfulness or sadness...
the salt of the earth
that is offered to the world
to sprout everything, and can not
be tasteless
(thus proclaims gospel)
cheers to salt
of redemption...!...

Saline droplet's , liquid crystal's

Salt of the earth , encountering mystical

Inner sanctum's eternal meadow

Past live's passing shuttering window's

A realm beyond the realm within'
dual nature's unite to begin.....

our views horizon into the zenith of self......

tears of suffering become tears of joy...........

Good luck to you! 
as you try to stop
this runaway train of thought
heading off the rails

Serenely setting sail
into the bliss of the blue sea

Saliently signaling its
salient desire to become one with the
salt of the earth

Sit back
so you can watch my albatross float away

Stare into the endless expanse
so you can watch my burden drift away...

She came from heaven, I tainted a desert
      She knew how to smile, I washed in dirt 
       She looked content, I understood hurt
        She oozed with value, I had no worth 
         She moved effortlessly, I fixed inert
          She was a siren, I salt of the earth

One with a self-effacing attitude,
he's the salt-of-the-earth type of a dude,
just a faceless face in a multitude;

Apparently low-profile, limelight-shy,
far more timid than a daytime firefly,
and you might want to figure out just why;

I'll let you in on a secret, brother,
with your bragging don't go any further,
him you called a wimp is the Godfather !...

A beautiful soul full of grace , purity , love illuminated brilliantly by the spirit . It's unnatural in the earth because it is the salt of the earth , for it's an affront to the ways of the world . Its perception,  understanding distillates the worlds wisdom for what it truly is foolishness . Its very nature is symbolic to the word , it strives to grow closer to God ....

Salt your meat for preservation.
Salt your food with no hesitation.

Salty sea, sea salt on it all.
Pepper, salt your salad, ya'll.

Salt of the earth, good ole boy.
Salty Dog gives taste buds joy.

Drill salt from mountain dirt.
We get salt from Mother Earth.

Salt so tasty, yes indeed - so
Put some salt in pie crust dough.

A little salt goes a long way.
Have salt today and every day....

Salt of the earth
Salt of the sea

Paid in salt

Salt without fries
Salt without pepper

Cubes
Grains
Packets

Kosher
Pink
Liver

Condiment

Old fish wife's tale cure
for cramp
Fast forward to today
Comes with a health warning
apparently bad for you

Salt is the greatest metaphor
for life

For salt is everywhere

"you are the salt of the Earth"
the flavor
from your
being
your taste
who you are
makes the entire Earth either flavorful or bitter


you are the savor in soup
just enough of you
makes it right
too much of you will
ruin the stew


know that you have a great gift
one drop from your salty tears
brings some seasoning

too much sweat
ruins the meal

Salt gives flavour to what is 
Otherwise bland. The attributes 
Of Jesus laid out by God’s almighty
Hand. Be salt today at home, and on
The job. Beware the devil comes only
To steal, destroy, kill and rob.

Salt of the earth, light in a dark place
Demonstrate the character and virtue 
Of the saviour. Containers for power
In this earthen vessel made of clay,
Filled with God’s word to distribute
Each and every day....

Father showed us how to care
Clarity of stream
How I have seen
God brightness peaks through
I could not ignore I just knew
God carefully shown
Heaven our home
A reason to gather
Has always been laughter
God is always working
Our heart did the giving
Virtuous sight
Let there be light
This truth was given
To make us listen
God raised our bar
To show who we are
God cured our thirst
We are the salt of the earth...

I am here to live
To step out into the world and see
And to breath the air of opportunity
To taste the salt of the earth
I will dance and be free
I shall step willingly into the footsteps of those before me
And happily know the tears they cried
My blood will be drawn
And I relish the pain of being human
I will sing
And shout
And laugh
And hurt
But this simply makes me all the happier
For it is a sure sign that I live...
