A Tempting Tale, of S'more & More

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I [Jesus] am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly
(John 10:10, KJV)
Crossed with: Maleficent

The bounteous More:

A land of peace
An attitude of plenty
Vibrant sparkle, oozing with life
Trusting there is enough and always more.

Conversely... The destructive S'more

A land of gluttony
Dark, dirty, shadowy
Meaningless-ness creates mindless striving
An attitude of never enough, ever needing some more, S'more.

Greed creates conflict
Covetous of others' lives
The Garden's ever-envious Eve
Stealing. From. Another. For... S'more.

Reaching for wings that were never hers
Always desiring some more
Scarcity. Cravings. Thievery
Diametrically opposed to bounteous.

More
Restoration, fullness and order
Whimsical flight, fancy and border
Always enough
The abundant mindset of More.

Slimy mud, flung for amusing fun
Flying here and there, a ton
And shiny, valuable jewels sparkle
Admired, but always returned to their original source.

Satisfied and sassy, yet ambitious
Longing, yet eagerly willing
Soulful and sold out to
A higher Other.

Gluttonous. Instinctive. Short-sighted
Flee the dark and the cloaked
The evervative mindset
Scarce. Voracious. Scary. S'more.

Strive for, but also beware. For the balance is tricky
Somewhat and seemingly slothful
Abundant. Even oozing. Energetic. The overflow, More
His given name is actually: More than enough (2 Cor. 9:8).
