Intrusion


Revelation 3:16-17 

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

 

Intrusion ... Grace's warning

 

My world has been invaded … thoughts are on the blink

My mind has closed its borders … I sense it from afar

Maybe tomorrow just less faded … my guardian just winks

To lift me out of mediocrity … and a life far below par

 

Who recognizes dimensions that we enter once in a while?

Who leads us by the hand and tries to remove all guile?

Who does remove pretention and that with a gentle smile

shows us some of the land that’s paved with golden tiles?

 

Yesterday a daydream … today illusions’ reality

The past always growing … the future out of sight

Surviving far from clean … drowning in banality

as the well-knowing are proved to be seldom right
