Deeper forbidden


Ecclesiastes 1:14 

14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

 

Deeper forbidden

 

Writer’s cramp starts in the head ... isn't that a wonder?

Tightness of the mind blowing in the wind

Hot air accumulating may bring a major storm.

It rests on its location with a man-made tint.

 

Isabel had stage fright ... goose bumps all over

hidden from the public ... she rummaged in fear.

Forms of pride will drive her to overcome these symptoms

until she gets used to it ... and be repaved “into the near”.

 

Folks will clap their hands in appreciation.

Some will jump up and down in their excitement.

Some don’t have a clue of what is really happening

and it really doesn’t matter if it’s just fake contentment.

 

Scrabbling on paper ... just what comes to mind.

What is in the heart ... seems to be well hidden.

Some days it flows ... and some days are just kind

to tolerate my existence where the deeper is forbidden.
