“Photo-Release” (Philippians 2:1-11)

I realized as she spoke on,
My days of freedom were now gone
In which free speech as open flow
Was how life now from here would go.

For, first, “Jacques’ level”, up a notch,
Meant I see things, so better watch
How much I say – use softer way
As part of what I wish to say.

The second is perspective mine –
On Kingdom-layer the life’s sublime:
But those on earth, as they press through
Don’t take a cotton to such views.

So, “Ashern-way” first comes to mind,
In different days, disinterest mine;
Like walking in bee-keeper’s ways –
“Disinterest” comes through “random” plays.

The second way to speak, of course,
(Effects some change, becomes a source
Of input for the pure at heart,
Or on such roads new traveler starts) –

Is “Photographs”; and “Poetry”;
“Fine art” if talent’s part of thee;
or “Novels”, “Shrouded mystery”
Set now, or back in history.

But best of all, let Spirit in –
Let Holy Spirit work begin
Within the life or lives before
You daily – set them craving more.

For hungry are the souls of men
And women, so don’t condescend
To speak from status, power, or might,
But share as friend some glint of light.

Lord, thanks for modeling that style –
Philippians – You came a while,
And shared Your life with us a space,
Before we drove You from this place –

Which was of no surprise to You,
For such to all of them we do –
Prophetic voices have no place
In life we live to world’s disgrace.

Lord, help us open up our lives;
Halt silliness ’neath which survives
The evil which sweeps o’er the land;
“Oh dear!” we say – then under-stand.

Thanks Lord for this.
