The Keys For Life

Faith is the earth in which we take root Hope is the water with which we are nourished Peace is the white cloud which gives us rain Love is the clean air through which we breathe in life Wisdom is the blowing and gentle wind Knowledge is the pure light by which we ripen Reason is the sun which gives our sight Together these keys form the perfect tree And these keys in turn form the perfect forest Only the seeds that are the smallest Seeds that are not eaten by the ruling birds Who the sun cannot scorch with fire Who the thorns cannot strangle the life from them Can be firm seeds of perfect mankind The seeds must change the laws of their hearts Or else how could they change the laws of the world They must build shell walls around their hearts Or else how could they build walls for countries How can they be masters of the world If they cannot master and nourish themselves These keys are not for the world only These keys may never be found on Earth And we may never unlock the perfect tree But we can look within man’s spirit For some glimmer in the discarded rubbish And pray to the sun above the sun To give away that little spark of those seeds Ask the God above God for those keys
