LEAD ME TO CHURCH

The Poet

 

 

Lead me to church

And I don’t mean the Lord’s house

Or to a place of worship

Surrounded by my kind

 

Lead me to church

And I don’t mean to the synagogue

But far away from the priests

The scriptures and the news

 

Lead me to church

Where red roses grow

And a deer runs free

By the streams that flow

 

In a place where parrots sing

But no church bell rings

Only a joyful chorus

That blends with the morning sun

    That's how it was when it all began and where today's 'churches' are meant to be pointing us toward: the Garden...in the east of Eden. Thanks for sharing.

    • L. B. Mek

      I believe, you may be one of those
      that unknowingly, carries
      missing pieces of my shattered soul..
      it's a privilege to meet you
      through
      your Brilliant words..
      thank you! for choosing to share
      dear Poet

      We have a Church before our apartments,
      Only on Fridays and Sundays they open it,
      The poet feels His Church is that place
      Where Nature works in full flow
      And Calm prevails to soothe the soul,
      A finely crafted gem of a poem indeed!
