1 Corinthians 13:1 New English Translation (NET Bible)

The Way of Love

13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Dried out like a personal relationship without love

After a while … a religious entity

Pen in hand and after a while, it is still not writing

It must be dried out after a year of being bypassed idle.

Will it take a while to warm? It acts as an unexpected stutter.

Like my mind is down and out and winds up in the gutter.

How long it takes me don’t know, maybe a glass of water?

To dip the pen’s point to loosen up the old matter

Maybe perseverance in just to keep on writing

will loosen up the words that in my head are fighting.
