Unseen Warfare

Haiku string

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Souls fall, smoke billows

Silent wailing at the sight

Battle wages on

—-

Hearts turning away,

The Creator sees them leave

But He won’t stop them.

—-

He gave us free will,

Never forcing His on us,

To see if we stay.

—-

Reward for staying

Is found in forever more

No reward for leaving.

—-

The world is a thief

Luring hearts and souls away

from the Shepherd’s flock

—-

Lies are implanted

deep within the fractured mind

Wrong choices seem good

—-

Some fight to the end

To bring His lost ones back home

from the world’s firm grip

—-

Eyes blinded, ears closed,

They worship the worldly sin-

captured, convinced minds

—-

Mind is battlefield.

World uses desires and hurt

To replace the Truth

—-

The Bible is more

than just a book. It’s the guide

to guarding our hearts.
