Echoes


1 Thessalonians 5:11 New English Translation (NET Bible)

11 Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as you are in fact doing.

 

Echoes

 

Voices come and mention peaceful gentle words of encouragement

In hope for some to pay attention and be delivered from detriment

 

Gentle whispers of intuition trying to bypass the old flesh

And to bring to fruition the hunger for what is really best

 

It seems limitless in patience and very gentle to the touch

Just like a perfect fragrance inviting love and peace as such

 

It originates from far of the outside and has no part of me

It fits of hunger to change the inside into what I need to be

 

Now I lean on my past and the things I understood yesterday

The stuff I love and won’t last for that someday I’ll have to pay

 

Choices that are made in the “now” are they driven from my heart?

As I cannot control the flesh somehow till I from its "will "depart
