I found my marbles
though they were in the bitter pool

I almost swore
that one more pin
would forever make me lose my cool

This was after
of coarse
I found out through drinking it
that the water was bitter
and ended up raging like a fool

I have always been good with anger
as His command was with me
and even in warfare
love, faith, and righteousness
was my breastplate
and also having His humility
as He rode in on a mule

It seems after my subjection
and my own loved ones
lifted up their heel
both cleverly
and gloatingly
that nearly every evil belief and thing
was believed about me
and this was what was going on spiritually
and even before this
with many
I would be freed
and yet through others' sight and grease
I was still wrong to them it seemed
and deceived
just as David was said to be diseased (Psalm 41)

Prudence came to me today
even in an hour I did not expect
I was found in goodness
and yet
after my bitter drink
having left religion's breach
though I did gain my full light
my conscience also gaining the full saturation and the divine
the seventh day had not fully come for the soul
not that there is inward sin
but the inward man still needs that fullness of the fruit of self-control
for there is an end concerning me
and though I have full defense
I want to be in the place where there isn't even one hint
for the light shone on the kingdom of darkness
and through the screen of their tongues' judgment
did come the lies and falsehood
the things of which Satan wanted to take up and inwardly breath

But now and today
in my soul
the fullness of the kingdom of God has come
being established on earth
and in the second heaven
as it is in the third heaven
the righteousness, joy, peace, and power
of self control and everlasting life
as also my tongue, glory, also my soul (Acts 2:26, Psalm 16:9)
is freed from wickedness
into true liberty
and the futility no longer does hold

And now I shall prosper in all things and be in health
just as my soul prospers

and now there is even more grace
the abundantly above

though darkness tried to impute to me their schemes

for my body now is in Love's substance
in true meekness
and kindness creating goodness
giving peace and faithfulness' still small voice
as the perfection of beauty
and the beauty of holiness
comes forth calmly, quietly, strongly, and tenderly bold
