Love Poem: Walking Turning Ploughing

Walking Turning Ploughing

Walking in peace amidst of the war
For the sword is sent and the bow is bent
Go through the straight gate a narrow door
Repent enter the light where the darkness is rent
Turning from your sin which is hard fallow ground
Love the Lord with all your heart and your fellow man
Swords spears pruning hooks and ploughshares abound
All in your hand but where to plant Tell me if you can
Ploughing through your hearts and mind
The peaceable fruit comes from pruning
Chastening can seem painful for a time
But there is peace and love is blooming
Learning to war no more must start
With knowing what is in your heart
