Hi Jerly,
This comes in answer to your request
I take umbrage at the ways of this world
I mull by days in the saving Grace of the Lord
And in the open spaces of the passing hours
Bringing the traffic of the minutes and seconds to a regulated halt
All the while I try to close in on my goal
From my vantage point of patience
I shift gears with ease
And when the veil is lifted aloft
I manage to catch only just a glimpse of rare majesty
The hours tumble and roll on
Swooping the minutes and the seconds in the gale of a close embrace
Telling them unheard of tales of weird make-believe
I lull my eyes to rest
and call out Thy name
Thy name is my rest and repose
My faith and prayer
My Hope
The rain starts in a flurry and stops in jiffy
The spurt of rain is only just a gushing of my thoughts
It is then that I know i must be visible
Just as the sky is overcast with the dark clouds
My cup is filled to overflowing and brimming with love
I topple over from moment to moment
And in my clumsiness even swagger a little
It looks to me as an oasis in a desert
A hope that shines on like a guiding star
My own people hardly know anything of that which fills my heart
They knock me over and then lift me up
And take me each on their separate tours
As i come to see it that its really you in their guise trying to beguile me
You come to know that i have pierced through your secret
I know you lead me on to deviate
What you do not know is that I prefer to merge
I mingle with you and long to find myself as you
To lose myself and to discover myself in you!
I am drunk with the wine of my own discovery
It is all an apparition
And i come to meet my friends
We rejoice and make merry - without end ....
