When You Dance With the Devil





This week's Wikem



Renowned for his brilliance, guile, and versatility
I should have kept my guard in place
And never let him kiss my face
In such a cunning bliss
At all

Renowned for his brilliance, guile, and versatility
I should have known in advance
That I didn’t stand a chance
And when you dance with the devil
You fall

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Pet. 5:8

  1. Thank you for supporting my wikems project, Janet :-)
    This "fall" at the end gave me goose bumps. Love the photograph, too. Did you add the red?

    1. Sasha, this is so much fun! I hope in time it catches on...This is a picture from my archives before I knew to add image credits so I really debated using it but, yes, I added the red and then couldn't resist:). Thank-you for stopping by.
