If words, we believe
We must be elated
“For definite purpose
We’ve all been created”
Let it sink in
With great comprehension
Our very existence
Is Gods intention
With us and in us
He wants to accomplish
A definite purpose
With joy be astonished
Once you perceive
Your blessed vocation
Then you must act
With great motivation
With simple intent
From world disappear
Into the open
Creation appear
Into days birthing
Where soul can breathe clear
Beyond is the view
Of me less aware
Into the stilling
Peace in the air
Soaking of soul
A will to prepare
Spirit of swirling
Come embrace here
One of our being
Surround soul in prayer
In days of gray sky
Of colors long gone
When vision is cloudy
A gift comes along
Blessing of sharing
Returns from the past
An act of love shared
Proves echo that lasts
One long forgotten
That grew in friend’s soul
Shines back to me now
A light that consoles
Hope shining bright
That Spirit imparts
The wind blows deep
Inside the heart
Have no words to capture
This gift of moments time
Soul knows of its treasure
One of the sublime
Colors soft arising
Whispering through the trees
Mist of vision forming
A gift of soul at ease
Peace is the word spoken
Wrapped in silent hymn
Symphony of silence
Soaks the word within
Beauty of unspoken
Unveiling of the true
Time before the dawn
A vision into you
You set upon a journey
For soon you will depart
One that takes you to me
Know you’re in my heart
With great anticipation
Of your arrival here
I wait with open arms
Long to have you near
May you travel safely
No rush upon your way
Enjoy the beauty blessed
Moments of this day
Drive upon the slow road
Taking time to see
Gifts set out before you
That speak divinity
One of conversation
With souls encountered blessed
Arrival with a story
The Spirit can attest
A practice of a lifetime
As loved ones luminate
Say this prayer for us
In heaven they await
A pause of petition
In a moment’s prayer
To turn to our Lord
To send his graces here
Swirling of the spirit
Rest within this soul
Instilling of your peace
Fill the empty hole
Grateful heart acknowledge
The gift dwelling within
Guide the will away
From selfishness of sin
Shining of your light
Fragrance of peace be
Embers of grace flowing
To share the love of thee
Two views of my world
One in which I see
Interpretation flows
Inside commentary
Processing the data
Keeping ego fed
Thoughts assumed as truth
Bounce around my head
Placing into bins
Past wounds are explored
They are good or bad
Desired or ignored
What did they really mean?
Calculate reaction
Triggers love or hate
This way is a distraction
Be patient my brother
Until the Lords coming
Let hearts eye be watchful
Will, here succumbing
See how the farmer
Waits for fruit of the earth
Be patient for it
‘Til rain give seeds’ birth
You too be patient
Make your hearts firm
Of the Lords coming
Of faith reaffirm
Complain not my sister
Judge not you be
The judge will be standing
Before gates you’ll see
Take as example
Hardship and patience
As prophets who spoke
Of Lord of acceptance
Past manipulation
Past anger and fear
Pas all scars and wounds
Know this message clear
They are my beloved
Your brother, sister too
A calling of much higher
This task I ask of you
No matter how they show it
Of this Word be aware
They want just to be loved
The need that we all share
In ugly encounters
Let this thought flow through
What they really want
Is the love of You
Constant commentary
Flowing through my head
Judging this and that
Keeping ego fed
Time to take control
Acknowledging the fact
There is a better path
A different way to act
Paul had word of wisdom
Of unceasing prayer
In my stream of thoughts
Oh Lord, please join me there
Slowing down to pause
Be present here to see
How You are blessing us
With gifts of such beauty
When thoughts go their way
Say that all aren’t true
Inviting Spirit in
And guiding them with You
