Creation
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Michael P. Johnson
Other Poems by Michael P. Johnson


 

      Creation's still groaning

Mankind behaved like wayward fools

Having it all and more

But failing to keep creation’s rules

God closed to man His door

 

Shut tight to all through Adam’s sin

Enforced, with flaming sword –Gen.3:24

No flesh can come nor venture in

Without God’s Christ as Lord

 

He’s Lord of life, of Heaven too

He rules both death and hell –Rev.1:18

What place He’ll have for me and you

God’s time alone will tell

 

But through The Christ, we’ve now a choice

Through grace, He gives us free

Who hearken to His humble voice

Obedient bend their knee

 

But still we often lose The Way

Within God’s Light, we’re shy

We fear to think of judgement day

Afraid of when we die

 

Devoid of love we cease to care

Without God’s arm we fail

We’re on the road to nowhere

But endless pain in jail

 

We must beware the road we walk

Decisions now we make

Our train of thought, the way we talk

Could be our last mistake

 

Progression’s scarce, since Adam’s time

No change to Heaven’s gates

The world enjoys her life of crime

Creation groans and waits.….Ro.8:22+Jer.12:4…

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.
