Locks and Keys
Lean into the wind
If it blows from behind it may topple
Like a trout, swim facing into the current’s force
To do otherwise is to float downstream
Seek out that which troubles
It is the signpost pointing the way
If the answer is unclear, then the question is too
That is what she taught me
The answer is known
It is the question that is elusive
For how does one answer a question unasked
There is no purchase, nothing to push against
Seeking answers in the light is random and blind
It is in the dark hidden places where the questions rest
A key is of no use without its mate
Collecting keys unlocks nothing and just become extra weight on the chain
The Way is often avoided, bargained with, and associated with evil
The illusion of light blinds lowering the glittering shades of darkness
Questions are waiting in the space never trod
The Spirit is there waiting to lead along the pathway of Truth
First seek the question, the lock, in the dangerous places
The key is already in your pocket

Wise words to gentle guitar playing, perfect groove. I like it very much.
I have been writing a short children’s story, recently finished after many edits, it carries the the same message, the search for a key to a door that cannot be seen, but we already have the key and the door was always unlocked.
Thank you for your lyrical and heartfelt poetry.
Let us know if its published please
Thanks for your interest, giving me incentive to get it out there now.
Let some folks on here read it and see what happens
Yes, perhaps it should be given freely. I’ll work on it, and thank you again for your interest
I was thinking a bare bones thing. A children’s book is a hard copy something to hold in your hands and look at and smell. I don’t understand all the potential legal or publishing issues but didn’t think the child audience would be in the blogging world.
That’s a great one! So well performed too.
Thank you brother
This has always been one of my favorites. I reblogged it twice! Loved it with the music. You guys read each other well. 😀
The class wants to give you more keys. The questions are what you seek my friend
Well I got a million of them, pardner. I guess they’re just not the right ones or surely one of my keys would fit, wouldn’t you think?
Pick just one and follow it to the end in your class. A million is no help
Well here it is then: Who the blazes IS Claire?
Let that be your only question
That is a good question. None of the others matter 🙂
Yes, you’re right. If I have the answer to that one maybe I can fix the manuscript. The others will fall into place.
You know how to write. You don’t need another class for that. You have the keys and or skills. That is without question. But this new process may get you to that place that needs unlocking
Well, we’ll see I guess. Thanks for the pep talk, pardner. 🙂
