KINGDOM

KINGDOM

A Poem by Scott Lee

A hawk screech tore through my heart in the middle of the night

I ran outside and unto great night began to look

Wind ploughed down through the leaves, the bright moon beaming down, one with breath
And stories.

Motion felt like a child in the trees,
Grace held out open hands
That I could gladly receive
My barriers vanished
I Surrender to a vast love I could feel but barely conceive.

Have I flown before with You someplace beyond those curious stars?

Somewhere in secret
That my hawk screech wants to be.

No limits set to yield me

Dust rises

And is lifted

A fearless child laughs
And stands bright again

I stare like an old man in remembrance

Silver tears race away from
my heart and find my face

Delicious meals are served for free.

"Eat up. " the child says.
I cannot move but only tremble
My leaves rattled by wind
And shined on by moon.

"It's ok I have forgiven you and the world."

The child's eyes are just as bright as the last time I left him on that limited, black and hateful road.

Come back I am yours

The meal beckons me
I take a bite

And the wind is here to lift me
Back to still waters
Back home inside my soul
Where he has been waiting to show me
The way back to an outstanding kingdom of light and gold
Once shared together.

I am safe.
All is well.

We've all been there before.

Now follow me we have work to do.
