God's Given Love And Wisdom                  (for my uncle Nicky and aunty Lesley)

 


The scriptures
of your life lessons
indicative
in the print pressings
I know these lines became audible
they spoken to me as well
the testament is vocal
when tuned to Gods wavelength
you were worried and quite open
thinking I was going to hell
saying I was unfocused
unheeding to the parables
and Sundays lectern was golden
harbouring all there was to tell .



Demonic shadows
were invested in thee
you saw the gallows
whilst in the vestry, you decreed
for to be hallowed
we all needed to believe
you looked scared somehow
which really did scare me.


You Lectured of Adam
and how to read the lessons
I argued for hours
contentious with many questions
how could you know of such power
and invisible ,pearly kingdoms
laughing you answered , unsoured
each one of us is born
with God's given
love and wisdom .
