Deut. 30

sheltering here
removed
alone
in silence
soft rebuke
merciful correction
speaks

time to end withholding
put meanness
pettiness
shaming
all
away

settle in
to the growing place
the giving place
the loving place

dark accusations
smothering sorrow
choaking judgement
sightless confusion
away

agree with
the peaceful One
the Warrior
the Maker

it is not too difficult
for you
not beyond your reach
not heaven-bound
not drowned in sea depths

it is near
very near
in your mouth
in your heart
obey
follow
step by step
obey

set before
today
tomorrow
life and prosperity
death
destruction

live in
the growing place
the giving place
the loving place
