Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

A Dream Imagined By Mlk

I hail here from the church with the flags -
Representation of a multicultural congregation,
                A piece of heaven, heartbeat
                      of light and dark faces.
We praise in harmony with our Creator and angels,
In communion as we are meant to be, 
                                 multigenerational too.
We gather together loving one another, singing His songs,
Instructed in godliness every week and on our own
At home we bond with the Lord our God,
               on our knees,
Hands spread wide, and meditate on God’s holy Word.
We share in sorrow and pain
        with our fellow man
Along with joy and happiness
         at each one’s gain.
My favorite part, I listen with a tear’s sheen and with a smile
               Let freedom ring, a dream come true.
                          God’s wings spread wide.
                                      Heaven sighs.

Caren Krutsinger January 21, 2020 at 9:20 PM When I visited Dr. King's church in Atlanta and they piped in his sermons and I heard his voice I could not stop crying. I had missed his sermons so and did not even know it! This poem reminded me of that day. Kim Rodrigues February 15, 2020 at 10:24 AM Thank you, Caren! A wonderful memory, sweet friend!

Edward Ibeh January 20, 2020 at 7:02 PM A brilliant tribute to one of the greatest men in all of history! Kim Rodrigues January 20, 2020 at 7:33 PM Thank you, Edward :)

Gershon Wolf January 20, 2020 at 1:31 PM Beautifully crafted; exquisitely penned, my friend: Your poem's theme is what religion should always be all about --- no false borders, walls, or other impediments to celebrating together the King of king of kings! (Guess that's a timely comment for today)... May Heaven reign here on Earth, and speedily, in our days! Blessings and Joy! :) Gershon Kim Rodrigues January 20, 2020 at 1:51 PM Thank you most kindly! Blessings and joy to you too!
