As the path narrows
copyright 2010  –  Ken Pullen
Scripture is in Italics and from the King James Version
One
Way
to know
when going
the
Right
Way
when on
the right path
is
as the path
narrows
becomes
straighter
everything becomes clearer in
the rarified
air
of  clear flowing living
truth
the traffic
thins
significantly
the sounds are more
pure
entering the ear
when walking alongside the
Lord
keeping God’s Word
near
My son,
walk not thou in the way with
them;
refrain thy foot from their
path.
Quickly
with great haste
did my path become far less crowded
as I turned
from the crooked ways
as Satan’s advances I did spurn
taking a turn
for the better
eyes on heaven,
heart on the Lord
spirit on God
where I now yearn
thinking away from this temporary evil
world
I no longer hold as much concern
as God’s the truth enters my spirit
in darkness I no longer am shrouded
Many cannot abide
a renewed man in their life
soon their worldly, fleeting, fickle
affection for me was erased
as I began walking a different path
with the Lord at my side
most I knew vanished
banished
themselves from me
self inflicted distance
since in their hearts there is nothing but
resistance
the air of truth they find difficult to
breath
their lungs encompassing their heart
so used to inhaling toxic lies
they left swiftly
as if a speck of debris caught up in a
wind
their fallow empty friendship
slipped away
like a grease stained double-cheeseburger
wrapper
in a category five
once I truly became living, alive
my path, my life, my daily walk
made all the better
as I refrained
my foot from their path
walking a way where I gained
life
liberty
eternity
in heaven
finally coming alive!
I now have more
on this narrow path
never truly alone
than I ever had before
walking alongside our Lord.
