Eating Your Words for Longevity and Health
Living in a desert
is a landscape
...without answers
For one example
mommy-shamers’
Big claim to fame
is
no book
with their name
a new
...virtue signal
stoic non-support
no humble
handout taken
in the spirit
it was given
who cursed
it?
spelling trouble
in negative spaces
Peering through
a dirty mirror
We notice
the fourth wall
Geometric pages
in the book
we authored
We should not
strike the wall
it’s the Rock
one that bleeds
the backbone
of our Savior
Speak
to the Author
of your plot
for you
may not see His
face
You may only
...wear it

I was struck (so to speak) by these lines, as yesterday I was at a bible study on Hebrews, where Moses' striking the rock came up in the conversation. In the water is health:
We should not
strike the wall
it’s the Rock
one that bleeds
the backbone
of our Savior
We should not
strike the wall
it’s the Rock
one that bleeds
the backbone
of our Savior
