    The Seed

    I wanted to write something blessed

    I wanted to write something kind

    I needed to write about visions

    Revealed by God’s perfect Christ Mind

     

    I wanted my readers to flourish

    On words lifted up by the wise

    I needed to seek out truth seekers

    And hoped to enlighten their eyes

     

    I prayed for the Father to guide me

    And keep me from making mistakes

    To fill up the hunger inside me

    Unto His disciple ship’s sake

     

    In time I became Father’s writer

    The keeper of Precepts and such

    And learned how to be Father’s fighter

    Scribing words I now cherish so much

     

     

    John Christopher

    1989

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
