Dear Soul,
rise and illuminate.
Do not sit in despair.
Pain enchants you with
the slumber of solitude,
but you have ability
to see in the dark.
So rise.

Life is for living,
for receiving and giving,
for illuminating the darkness
in moving from here to there.

— “Purpose” excerpt from A Movement of Light

Writings on God and Verse

Two of Keith’s favorite topics are theology and poetry.

Theologia is a blog devoted to examining questions and concepts related to the doctrine and practice of Christianity as found in the Bible. Keith puts his Master of Divinity in Theology to work as he dives into a variety of topics in the hope of discovering a little more about God and ourselves.

Story in Verse is the official blog of Narrative Light Press which is devoted to the resurgence of formal narrative poetry in the modern age. Keith discusses a variety of subjects including formal narrative poetry’s current place in our culture and its potential to uplift and illuminate the human spirit.

I will echoed through the timeless void
before it slowed enough
to take a form.
Its intention was unparalleled
and pregnant with eternal possibility—
the highest joy,
the lowest sorrow,
fortune and tragedy—
within the brush mark of a single stroke.
