Persistent in Poison

Authority through blood, 

Confidence through cleansing , 

Endurance through the faithful one,

Encouraged and encouraging through 

Confident enduring encouragement of others,

Awaiting the Day.

But

Persisting in poison, 

No cleansing remains.

Time

If I had the time
to sit and relax,
to float down stream
on an inner tube raft,
to enjoy a pipe on a mid summer's eve,
or to walk with my wife
and from my children take leave...

...I would be a Master of Divine.
