Thievery

You try and steal the thunder

Numb the sense of wonder

Sedate the state of fascination

With smug and lifeless explanations

You raise ridiculous questions

Planting seeds of worry and doubt

Eyes behind blindfolds and ears that won’t hear

You spin them, then send them to figure life out

Under cover of darkness as an angel of light

From within the shadows your concealed appetite

Devouring innocence, swallowing hope

Suggesting escape - you dangle a rope

But the best lied plans of devils and men

Can’t keep Humpty Dumpty from being born again

When these wonderful words, forever Faithful and True

Take root in the heart “for he careth for you”

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;

I have come that they may have life, and have it to

the full.” (John 10:10)
