A King!

-
My good friend, Bill Kilian, has recently gone through some deep waters, and has come forth shining like gold. I am inspired by his faith and optimism. He's a real blessing. Not long ago, Bill wrote this beautiful poem which captures what he has experienced:

He shall lead them to still waters.
I, son of man, forget that I am not son of a king.
It is surprising how small a part of life
Is taken up in meaningful moments.
Life is precious,
Especially when you're a Christian and only allowed one.

In wisdom and folly-
For what can a man do who succeeds a king?
Only what he has already done in all his works.
It seems not enough!
He shall come and fill the empty rooms!
For I have danced with A King !!!

Men will bring much charisma,
When they enter a room, demanding all attention.
But The Spirit comes from God,
It is extraordinary,
It brings not charisma,
But Presence of all that The King of Kings asks.... To Love!

Oh Yes!
Creation sings and dances in the country,
Goodnight moon!
For today, I have danced
With A KING
And
THE LORD OF LORDS!

    What a beautiful poem. I liked the part that says He shall come and fill the empty rooms. Also, the reminder that too little of our life is taken up in meaningful moments.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
