A chapter in the book The Heart of Poetry

Transparency

by Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Translucent as a butterfly
Righteousness takes its humble place
An aromatic offering to the Lord
Never-ending love to Him it gives
Sweet savor of sacrifice
Presented to the Worthy One
As a reasonable service, not duty bound
Respect and Reverence to the King
Ethereal sustenance it craves
Naught of works lest it should boast
Caught in forever's web of heavens love
Yesterday's transparency slips gently into eternity
