The Hunter

The Hunter

A Poem by PoetryofProvidence

Why , should I let you

approach

and not spring away as a gazelle

leave you to lacerate my throat

to rip and consume my heart

like a lion who ravages prey

have your teeth not been satiated

with all those who fell 

in the hunts before me

like ewe lambs in the slaughter

You cannot serve two masters

the lust of the eyes , the desire of the flesh

and ones means as a way of life

You had sought there justice

and eschewed oppression

loved undeserved kindnesses and affection

and with meekness did seek 

understanding in the meditations

of the woodlands silence

Come you now, put away your sins

hunt for your Maker and truth

and turn away from your emptiness 

and vain pursuits of vanity

where compassion is a hated word

and corruption the robes of your kingdom

You are not lost yet

that you might not ever return

to real Love....

 

James 1:1-8 & 4:7-10

 

 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires..

 

Matthew 13 :44-45

  44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

   45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
