Spiritual Poetry
 

                    The term here is used specifically to define the poetical aim,
                    Not an implication that the Spirit was source of which it came.
                    Not every thing presented as with the garment of Piety attired,
                    Is unflawed by man's imagination, and only the Bible's inspired.

                    Terming a script Spiritual Poetry commands not approval of God,
                    Any more than counterfeit money elicits an assent giving nod.
                    A false portrayal can cause to wander as in darkness of night.
                    As apples of gold in pictures of silver are words spoken right.

                    Composing Spiritual Poetry that has acceptability with the Lord,
                    Requires adherence to scripture and understanding of His Word.
                    Of His choice according to purpose, God blesses whom He will,
                    And gives a talent that supersedes man's natural enabling skill.

                    So, since God's Word given by inspiration, is already complete,
                    And the exposition of His truth is essentially one of repeat;
                    If a man knows these things, and to them devoutly takes heed,
                    When he authors a script, Spiritual Poetry inevitably proceeds.
