THE FLAMING SWORD

Genesis 3:24

Pearl Strachan Hurd

Quick and powerful, the Word of God
Leaves us no doubt.
No question about
Primal integrity.

East of the garden, that flaming sword,
With cherub of wisdom,
Guards our freedom,
Dispels perplexity.

Revealing our roots in tree of Life,
Truth shows unabated,
Consecrated,
Our vitality.

It flashes every way, for all
Of courageous eyes
To see, to recognize
Reality.

Pearl Strachan Hurd
