Tongues


Luke 9:62 New King James Version (NKJV)

62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

 

Plowing in a world of concrete …

 

Tongues

 

Reading poetry in the wind … the times are not a changing

Maybe we’re going backward in progress to defeat ourselves

Is it really meant for the facts to be constantly rearranging

to catch up with the stall-wards, who survive till all ends well?

 

Who will be talking to me … mostly from the inside?

Who will form perception or keep it hidden for now?

Who will it be … to help and show me to get this right

and keep me from deception, that follows me somehow?

 

Voices from within breathing interpretation

Giving some discomfort as I don’t understand

Removed from sin in a serene consolation,

that will bring some sort of Glory towards God in the land
