The kingdom of heaven is like…

The kingdom of heaven is like…

The Kingdom of Heaven is like…
Weeds in a wheat field
(damned interlopers)
A mustard seed
(that grows in my backyard)
Yeast hidden in dough
(set it aside in a warm spot to rise)
One pearl of great value
(get it now for the low low cost of everything you own)

The Kingdom of Heaven is like…
A treasure you’d give up everything for
(everything?)
Everything

everything

What would you give up everything for?
Have you? Given up everything?
(because I haven’t)

The kingdom of heaven is near
Always near
(never here)

The gate of heaven is everywhere
(a point of nothingness)
Just lay everything down
(including yourself)
and step inside
