Vision

Proverbs 29:18 

18 When there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,
but the one who keeps the law, blessed is he!

 

What is a vision ... what’s a dream?

What is a secret longing?

Where does it start ... where’s the end?

Where’s the sense of belonging?

 

Should we do this ... or maybe that?

Is there a way of knowing?

Where does desire end and vision begins?

Where does truth start growing?

 

Does it start where I leave off?

We know He has always been there.

Just because oppressed by me

does it mean He’s not being fair?

 

Tears of sorrow ... tears of joy

tears of frustration.

Tears when all hope seems gone

and tears for degradation.

 

What are tears that wash the mind?

Tears of self-pity …

What if tears cleanse the heart?

What if tears are witty?

 

Do tears always flow through eyes?

Is there a dry season?

When tears are not for human cries

are we then filled with treason?
