I was raised in a house that feared God

Morning service. i will never forget when the pastor looked at me
his eyes voided with the Holy Spirit

he said with a voice shaking like lightning
"Fear is of the Devil."

i. first light- i met you in a crimson forest.
it was a rose garden summer, and out of a black mercedes
you walked out, your five year old eyes greener than
sunlit saplings
you reached up to pluck a rose from its stem, and offered it to me.
"what's your name?"
daddy told me that i couldn't tell strangers my real name.
I looked at the rose in my hand.

Storm Ravaged Hope
Petals are a scatter
Across rain torn grass,
Vines caressing leaves
Fallen from bare trees
To the right, the garden
Holds a scene of crush -
Remains of rose petals
Create a scene of red
Shimmering beneath
Lightning strikes
One blood red petal fallen
For every death occurred
In this unknown village
But there in the midst
Lies a rose of black,
Drenched in sorrow
From its very tip
To the loose roots
Remained in the soil
A few darkened petals
To remember our losses,
But a living death
Meant for true hope
Literature
...

build
this castle
so you could
sit on
your throne
of
lies.

That's why I prefer to say "Respect" or " Be in awe" of God! It's a bit confusing using the older term fear when it means something different than "be afraid/ scared". I like how it creates a very strong mental picture with very few words.
