Truly Blessed

 

On a frozen night in an empty place,

I called out to You and thought You

Were not there.  Heavens gifts shone

Down upon me but I could not see.  I

Pushed You away believing I could get

Through this life on my own.  I

Became so afraid to speak Your Name,

For fear of judgement and humiliation.

I curled into foetal position,

And stared blankly at nothing.  Those

Around me believed not in the Father and 

I was looked upon as someone oddly

Strange and eccentric...........  

 

The fear of God penetrated the

Entire circle and arguments began,

Violence erupted and wars were fought.  

Peace was a shadow in the dark -

Too far away to even attempt to find!  

I screamed out to all  the world-:

     "Please stop the fighting -

       people are dying and every-ones crying

       and we are all starving look around you -

       there is nothing to eat except for

      casks of rotted wine! -

      I cannot handle this place any longer -

       Jesus!

save us.... 

 

I crawled out of the dust,

Away from foetal safety and at

This moment a shining beam of love,

Shot through my heart, filling

My mind with a God's holy light.  It

Extended to us all locked in judgment,

And the silent waves of pure love,

Cruised away all violent thoughts.  

Ancient wars stopped and a silence -

Mystically translucent - asleep in our hearts,

Awoke us all to peace within the dreamworld...................  

 

We look at each other as our,

Minds began to melt as one love,

Singing praise to our brother Jesus,

And to our Father God - giving thanks

For the new awakening.  We circled

The world - hands held together with

The glue that joins us to the everlasting Father.......

 

Never again do we weep in doubt or fear,

Nor cast judgment upon one another,

As the human mind gently

Awakens to live within a holy time,

Imprinted on our minds an ancient Memory - 

Fear is transmuted to love and together,

In everlasting peace we are forgiven,

For all past transgressions against our Father and

Against each other as 

The light of truth leads us back,

To Him, our holy Home, truly  blessed as one family................
