Set free In the land of man,
My spirit flows with pen in hand.
No words could I ever speak.
No words could I ever write.
Show the power of God
In all his glorious might.
My life is a verse,
A symbol or two
Bringing spirit of light,
From a land pure and true.
The Book Of Life
Is lived not read.
Each word not written
But better off led.
Try to grasp
What I’m trying to say
Live life in his service
And you need not pray.
He is always here
All around you
His spirit will guide you
With words that stick like glue
Take your life
And live a chapter
And you can be sure
That you’ll live forever after!

"The Book Of Life
Is lived not read.
Each word not written
But better off led."
I really liked the message of this poem and I think those four lines sum it up perfectly. It means nothing to spout the word of God if you do not practice what you preach. The form was interesting - as it started I expected it to be a little constricting but it turned out to be very free-flowing, which seems to suit this piece best.
Very nice work!

I love the poem, it shows that God is truly with us, and you never do "read" the book, you "live" it. Very true with your view on life. I can't wait until you new poem(s) come out.

Whoops..Forgot the applause...:S sorry

Brilliante lol ;)
Wow!I really love this poem.So wonderful...So pure somehow..It's different,and great!Sincere and shows sooo much faith.I'm glad that you do believe in Him as many do not,and I'm glad that you are willing to show your love for Him through your poetry!!
I'm a sucker for spiritual poems btw... -
This poem was so sincere! I think it's great that your faith is so strong and that He inspires you to write such great poetry! I've written one spiritual poem in my life, when I was 12, but nowhere near as good as yours!
'The Book of Life
Is lived not read'
So unbelievably true! That could not have been said any better! Reading your work has sorta inspired me to write a poem on how God has touched my life and stuff so I think I'll do that soon.
