ASHES AND OIL

Author: Goodness Robert
Date of Creation: 8th July 2025

Living water burst through the door
Quench this strange fire I’ve brought
Before I’m reduced to only ash on the floor
Where I once stood to be anointed with oil

Rock eternal void of man’s touch
Smash my prized statue to dust
I see dews hovering like feathers in free fall
Hear me before my words morph into roars

Lamb! Emerge from this lion I tore
Sweeter than honey is the taste of wisdom
My heart tells me riddles that great strength can’t solve
Who am I if when I’m weak only then I’m made strong?

“The strong man will become tinder and his work will be a spark;
both will burn together, with no one to quench the flames.” – Isaiah 1:31
