David Hyatt-Bickle Poet Sijo

Where Is God's Kingdom

Some say that God’s kingdom is in the sky, or in the sea
The birds would reach the sky before you, the small fish would have found it
The kingdom is in us and outside us, we’re children of its king 


A poem based on a translation of the Gospel of Thomas (the language of the work being Coptic).

Joseph P. DiMino October 8, 2021 at 5:07 AM Absolutely! We are made of God. Otherwise He would not be the the 4 Omin's. We can only seperate ourselves from God consciously. It is our own choice -- and an illusion.
