Oh gift that brings, expresses beauty to
this world from God’s own heart to open up
the possibilities that could renew,
and even help to save from what’s corrupt.
Or better still to save from zombie like
impressions, motivations that subsume
the beauty and the truth of GOD, to spike
our drinks and take volition from the room;
unless it be to do the bidding of
some pow-er-ful controlling one who wants
to have their will imposed, to be “king of” -
(not in your royal way as true response
to hesed°; loyal love, fidelity,
a keeping of one’s word (so all can be
enabled & empow’r’d to choose, more free
within their growing possibility),
but as a tyrant hoping to just see
their tiny will that doesn't have a view
of all the Universe, just one small “me”.
So this large world gets shrunk right down into
a taking ‘stead of giving, and just bland,
no strains of beauty in both sight & sound.
I’m glad this belle, this beauteous gift’s been planned
by who has always been, & hangs around,
& will be in the future, coz this world
is emanating from his very mind,
and as his dreaming sees his flag unfurled
an Annabelle* is what we’re apt to find.
* Annabelle, is a name that means gift and beauty, or beautiful gift.
° hesed (or chesed, or kesed), is the Hebrew word for loyal love, loving kindness, guest-friend commitment, covenant love, committed seeking of the good and advancement of another.
