As I strike

"Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, "
NIV Psalm 58:4

As you play your broken flute
I'm protected by my Lord
As you look at me to toot
I am freed by your discord.

For I see your hidden net
As you try to capture me
And my mate your heel will get
As your fate, quick death, will be.
As I strike.

=========================================================================

A post note to the poem, "As I strike"

"As I strike", was actually inspired by another poem using the snake metaphor from the Garden of Eden in Genesis, the first book of The Holy Bible.

"The actual words come from a poem I received from the "wind". This is how I receive much of my poetry. At the time it blew in I didn't even know what I was writing I just opened my poetic windows and let the breezes flow.

Later, after I wrote it, I reviewed what I had written and these thoughts came to mind.

I believe that viewing a snake to represent evil is man's use of symbols to portray woman's desire, as evil, requiring bondage. Woman, in the name of Eve, is blamed for the original sin and the suggested enmity between the woman and the snake teaches this lesson.  

I wonder about God being the spirit in all life and think about how woman's spirit, God in woman, might think about her unwanted earthly master, spirit of evil man.

Of course, since woman belongs to God, not man, her eternal spiritual mate is Christ, God's Spirit of Love, whom Scripture says will decide judgement on man, and in justice, evil unrepenting man will find eternal death. Of course Salvation through Grace is offered to men willing to accept spiritual death (death of man in the body of Christ) and be reborn in Spirit to rise, fusing with woman in Salvation becoming the bride of Christ, with women as taught by Christ.

And if you wonder about women who are evil, like men, I believe that you are still looking at the Spirit of Man a Woman permits to possess her heart.

Where only Love, "The True Spirit Woman" is the Spirt of God, Mother of Desire, remains.

And so I believe that The Spirit of Woman remains connected to God. And when man accepts Salvation from The Christ, he becomes reconnected to God and is likened to the The Spirit of Woman, as a lover of Christ.

And the Spirit of God, Mother of Desire and the Spirt of God, Father of Purity are Unified in God's Purity of Love making God complete again as in the beginning.

Confused?

Everything is wonderful when God writes poetry. The bottom line always teaches Eternal Love in the Spirit of a Living Christ, who when we fuse our Spirits in God, we return to God in Love and Light in Purity in an eternal life as One Complete Spirit.

Come! Love! Live!
