Without Hindrance – v2

Paul was in Rome, under house arrest;

but he received guests, without hindrance,

so ends the book of Acts;

but it is the story of Acts, the sharing,

of unpredictable stars,

milquetoasts who gain spines,

power emboldening disciples, speaking

in unknown tongues near and far,

of early believers, disciples, saints,

a persecutor made proselytizer

of missionaries and martyrs

of zealots of the faith

Giving all, or dying for holding back,

a time of communal living and squabble;

but a moment of proclamation,

over and over, without hindrance,

spreading the good news, the gospel,

from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth

as eyewitnesses to the creation

the beginning of another age

of love and sacrifice,

of communion and peace

a renewed Eden, a garden, a way,

if we would just follow His path
