Lack of ...


Proverbs 21:16           New English Translation

16 The one who wanders from the way of wisdom

will end up in the company of the departed.

 

Lack of inspiration

 

Relative and relatives. Here is me … divided

Maybe in three … or more … who knows?

But if I break down … I’m just one-sided

 

Body, soul, and spirit … that seems to make sense

Or is it maybe the inner man or just the outer one?

But that makes two and not three or maybe just one

I mean the one, I am, the one that’s so dense

 

The soul is mind, will, and emotion.

Really that should make sense

But now if you take “will” for instance

Can it be tolerant, passive, or tense?

 

If this does not make sense at all

But I know just what you mean

My train of thought ran off the rails

And I am somewhere caught in between

 

Should I write or lay down my pen?

Possibly wait for another moment

When reasoning falls into place

So I'll prove, that I haven’t done it
