Compassion is the captain who steers me into action.

Passion is the fiery flames that consumes those things which are dead,

but feeds the eyes and skin of those who struggle to live.

Both are gravid gifts, but yet baffling burdens too.

Wielding super strength some days, or cumbersome chains in others.

Revelation is lightning that disciplines, or chastises the earths surface.

Confession is the surprising geyser that blasts from the ground,

that declares the truth with trumpet sound, while finding fragrant freedom.

Both are shockingly beneficial, but yet disruptive and unsettlingly honest.

Brandishing welcomed prophetic warning, or gloomy days of dark disarray.
