Beyond Offense Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Beyond Offense



What can Darkness do with Light?
The smallest light breaks Darkness so
It gives illumination for the Sight
And Discernment comes to show.

What can Salt do to things around?
Its very presence makes things salty
No motion required, this can be found
Salt affects anything - immediately.

Why does Truth shake the world so?
Indeed it reveals who we are!
It causes Anger and Pain to know
That we are all very unclean jars.

So if we had died into Jesus Christ
No finite room keeps baggage keeping
Emptied we are for His great prize
We do not need these where we are going!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
'I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me. The life I live in this body I live by faith in the Son of God Who gave His life for me.'

GALATIANS 2: 20
