Kim Van Breda Poet Free verse

Keys To the Kingdom

KEYS TO THE KINGDOM


some read Bible’s to study
some to learn more about
Heaven
some as an obligation
some to show pious
intention

Whilst…

veritable facts remain
more than mere literature
history or theology
it’s Life
it holds keys to heal
strife

We….	

are lost souls and fail
to discern the way
up
His book embraces
all wisdom on love
a satiated  gracious
cup

Witness…

God’s word as a window
in our prison-soul
hearts
unlocking the way 
as Kingdom Keys
impart

Timothy Hicks October 17, 2014 at 7:43 PM The first stanza is what really got to me. I used to read my Bible everyday... but eventually it began to feel like a mundane routine... which I don't think was God's intentions. "God’s word as a window in our prison-soul" << reminds me of Pilgrim's Progress! John Bunyan was free spiritually despite the fact that he was imprisoned physically for 12 years. Sorry for the rambling comment... I get carried away... nicely penned, Kim!
