Behind Shrouded Eyes
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

       Behind Shrouded Eyes

Whilst down life’s corridors we tread

To classrooms long since gone

We see the rich the famous dead

Without God’s Lamb & Son

 

We see their misty clouded eyes

Each stinking prison cell

No thought of God or paradise

No thought of death and hell

 

Tightly confined in self made jails

Unknown God’s Truth & Light

Behind the devil’s masks and veils

Devoid of any right

 

So darkness reign their shrouded minds

Lustful they thirst for gold

We see the chains, which Satan binds

We see their spirits cold

 

Where glowing hearts in praise should beat

Where tongues to God should cry

But tears and pain show man’s defeat

Whilst bound in sin they die

 

But God can see man’s loathsome state

He sees one’s heavy chains

He sees the day is growing late

How Satan easily reigns

 

God’s eyes can see the heart of pride

Where man should come and go

He sees His Son with arms held wide

And who don’t want to know

 

God also sees the eyes that see!

The ears life’s Truth can hear

It’s these; He sends the world to free

And teach His name to fear…

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
