Three very different poems from my archives
The Key
The door that leads to heaven
Is always open wide
You’ll never need a key
For you to go inside
You may think you can’t reach it
Or you really aren’t that good
But God and all his Angels
Are never there to judge
They’ll put their love around you
And beckon you inside
Then wash you in forgiveness
So you don’t have to hide
Everything you’ve lived through
Will pass as in review
But nothing that has happened
Will put the blame on you
For souls that go in learning
Will never need a key
To find their way in heaven
Where all can come for free
The Earth Is Getting Dizzy
The earth is getting dizzy
from spinning round and round
it’s bound to go off center
at least that’s what I’ve found
the motion of the twirling
always makes me sick
As I stagger around the garden
In circles oh so big
perhaps it does not notice
as stars go hurling by
or maybe I should standstill
and just take in the sky

The Locks of Love and Friendship
Each lock is like a union
Of couples in their pairs
Though it does not really matter
What memories they stir
For each will tell a story
About the days gone by
And what is in the future
Or how the land may lie
Although the locks are fastened
No sign of keys remain
So they will stay forever
With only rust to stain
And what of those who left them
I really could not say
For the locks are just a token
Of a love that lived that day
Thoughts to Ponder – “We are chained by our own control. Life is nothing more than finding the key that unlocks every part of our soul.” – Shannon L Alder
