I’m standing in the back unsteady, not understanding Your story about good seed fields with soil rich and deep, enemies in the night that plant weeds, which burn in bundles while reaping the wheat. Later I ask, which makes You laugh but it’s laughter of a patient kind, for You take the time to tell me You’re the sower, the field the world, the seeds You plant, your people, me, among the weeds, the devil’s lies, I’ll grow, His own, until the end of time while evil dies in flames, we’ll shine together, and Peter, You say, *blessed are your questioning ears, for you hear what prophets prayed to hear, the mysteries they strained for years to see before your eyes.*

On This Rock: Parable
I’m standing in the back unsteady, not understanding Your story about good seed fields with soil rich and deep, enemies in the night that plant weeds, which burn in bundles while reaping the wheat. Later I ask, which makes You laugh but it’s laughter of a patient kind, for You take the time to tell me You’re the sower, the field the world, the seeds You plant, your people, me, among the weeds, the devil’s lies, I’ll grow, His own, until the end of time while evil dies in flames, we’ll shine together, and Peter, You say, *blessed are your questioning ears, for you hear what prophets prayed to hear, the mysteries they strained for years to see before your eyes.*
