“Purple”
The color purple, seems to me,
Reflects a tension few can see
Within my breast, twixt practical
And Kingdom-view quite Biblical.It’s not I’m out of world below,
More separated, for I know
That is the only way to be
Engaged in Kingdom-life for me.Translation issue’s at the base
Of this dilemma – any case,
It’s how I hear the Scripture tome
In ways authentic to my home.A plastic layer “Overhead
Projector” image, as I’ve said,
Depicts this layered point of view
In ways my life I now can do.So, “purple tint” – what’s that about?
The Spirit-base for me, no doubt
Attends my way – if it’s not there,
Depiction of a Father’s care –While structural change to CasilCorp,
Though best for me, as such can warp
My focused-view, take me off track;
The purple tint, can bend me back.So, Lord, as I now shift my work
To economic, start to lurk
In halls where giver-types reside,
Let purple tint help me abide –Within Your life, as Yours in mine,
That art might flow in words sublime,
Augmented with a pictured view
In form of art, with words from You.Thanks Lord for this.
