~ Masturbation ~

Hanging from the monkey bars

dangling... upside down,

my legs strongly crossed trying to understand,

how to separate from sin

in the great big world that I was living in.

Frowning over what there is

so much of everywhere;

can’t find shelter from the storm

A roof under which to feel safe,

and know inner peace.

To practice what I write, the message made so clear

‘masturbation’

any time of the year;

just another wicked form of adding to our emotional confusion

absolution... only for

those ‘persons’

of perfection...

through the bible’s teachings and the christian preaching,

help from the scriptures word

and the holy spirit...

giving strength to us in this life

to guide us in the areas where we are weakest...

to fight the ‘fever’...

until the time when love is there

properly established (marriage)

when I was still that girl...

living in a different

place and time...

hanging from the monkey bars

back when I was 9,

when I unfolded true salvation;

in avoiding masturbation!

( I would have fallen from the monkey bars!!)

I've been writing as long as I could hold a crayon! Remember writing my first story like it was yesterday at 5. I remember the details of the day, location, time, excitement & where the story was preserved for all time! Lots Born From That!
