Epigram After 1st Corinthians 3:13-15 And Others

[ after 1 Corinthians 3:13-15; Matthew 10:16;

Jeremiah 6:16; Hebrews 13:15]

 

(with gratitude to my Muse, Lady Certainly)

 

Editing my poems:  some work.

Others sound like words of an indiscreet jerk,

or a last minute boast:

all of these I will remove.  I hope most

make a good witness to Faith, or Love.

This is not mere editorial repression;

but rather an exercise of 

Christian discretion,

("wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove");

to stand in the old path's and good way's

place to offer a sacrifice of praise,

in the manner exemplified to me

by Lady Certainly,

whose belief is utterly profound,

whose discernment is peerless

she stands, spiritually shoeless in sheerness,

on holy ground.

 

Starward
