The beauty of Lucinda, to wonderful for words,
Her ways seem so delightful; she’s the song of restless birds,
She is the sunset, the morning, early dew, and latter rain,
The echoes of her children, respond to her refrain.
Men adore her majesty, women follow pursuit,
Captured by her tapestry, woven by her fruit,
Needlepoint accuracy, a picture of knots and ties,
Unfold after months of weaving, right before their eyes.
Pure adulterated ungodliness; knit one, pearl two,
Lucinda’s breath is sweetened by her fabrics scarlet hew,
Silken smooth and thoughtful threads of curious delight,
Dance within our dreams, and schemes relentless through the night.
Unaware of deceitfulness, unconscious venom stings,
When morning light gives way to men, her songbird chorus sings,
Ears are tickled, hearts unfold, and truth is twisted twine,
How ornate her shawl is worn for all, her lips, now drips with wine.
A masterpiece is in the making, as we interpret God,
So beautiful the undertaking, as we’re introducing the facade.
“My gallery is now complete! My featured artist, hung!”
“Come see the colors, shades and strokes, my work is nearly done!”
“Tell the others, tell the world, Lucinda’s crafts in view!”
“Help me spread the news for her, it’s time to pay our due.”
“Her fruit is ripe; her colors bright, her timing is so grand.”
And so the tongue is set aflame, throughout this fertile land.
Like the dust in winds of time itself, cannot be gathered back,
So is one partial from a sharpened knife, of Satan’s cloaked attack.
Lucinda is a cover up, a wife from Lucifer’s bed,
For gossip, oh so sweet you see, is a thought from Satan’s head.
Yes, you can be his vocal cords, and work in his shallow tomb,
And drink from Satan’s cup of woe, or spindle from his loom,
Or pray, alone, for God will see, and hear your every thought,
What gain have we, to spread adversity, is that’s what Jesus, taught?
