Jeff Kyser Poet Rhyme

Macedonian Man

To Phrygia, to Galatia,
And then up further north:
Thus, Paul and Silas hatched a plan,
And so they ventured forth.

But then, a bit perplexingly,
Christ would not let them through.
The Asia route was blocked to them;
The explanations, few.

When they arrived in Mysia,
Again they tried the north.
Bithynia was blocked as well;
They traveled west henceforth.

And in the middle of the night,
A man came in a dream,
“Please come to Macedonia!”
’Twas from the Lord, they deemed.

So they proceeded with all haste
To those who had beseeched,
For God had given audience
To hear the gospel preached.

(from Acts 16 - an unusual part of Paul's second missionary journey)
