Earnestly

Proverbs 4:23 

23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.

 

 Earnestly

 

What a word, a dream ... how much of that is in me?

Do I even recognize the meaning of that word?

Like honestly a simple quest ... we all think we’re a part off.

A dream turned in a nightmare ... for the best I have heard.

 

In earnestly there no guile ... it bypasses depravity.

A sporadic dream in loneliness that shows up all the time

like purity that’s only found in the things that God created

to be quickly defiled by man ... who claims it to be fine.

 

Everyone, who lied once in life will always be a liar

and if you took what wasn’t yours ... you’ll always be a thief.

So if when and how you failed ... you always be a sinner.

So honesty itself is a paradox ... that on itself feeds.

 

Capacity within ourselves seems never understood.

We think we’re so much better than we really are.

The thought of that shows us quickly the depth of our blindness.

We’ll never understand ourselves and this is seen from far.

 

So lack of comprehension of self’s entity

will bring confusion from the start.

For not to know oneself will hamper the need

that it takes to want ... a simple change of heart.
