(A meditation on each word(s)
of the Lord's prayer)
I agree.
This is Your kingdom.
Where Your Presence
permeates the
place like
a mustard tree
annihilates a
garden
or the
yeast that goes
throughout the
loaf.
A kingdom that
has a declaration
that every ruler
has dreamed of -
A kingdom that will
never end.
A kingdom
whose citizens are
the ones
who found the pearl
and knew its
true value.
The ones who
kept their hand
on the plow
without looking back
Where
good thieves
tax collectors
prostitutes
the childlike
are allowed in.
While the rich
desperately hope
for their
advocates
to show up.
