in the state of Job
rebelling against God

for the grace
of my imagination
like this beautiful maiden
Iam constantly redeemed
drawing golgotha out
of my own bondage
and limitation
in a state of Moses
Iam pointed the way
to fuse with the vision
of my imagination

these are all
just states of consciousness

Her husband’s fragile ego, starting to take a beating, responded vehemently, ” It’s not only her looks, did you hear her speech, she is so eloquent, passionate, and that melodious voice, it could sink a thousand ships”.
