Locks and Keys – Live

Standard

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

  1. 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.
