612. I Meet With God Daily

I meet with God daily,

And He speaks with me;

And I sit and listen,

In His realm of eternity.

In His tongue He teaches,

And my soul, it reaches;

Through the firmament,

His Light beseeches.

He calls me His child,

And we lie reconciled,

From the darks’ distortions,

Which oft’ kept me exiled.

He breathes into me,

His Light, heavenly,

And I rest breathlessly,

In momentary ecstasy.

Yes, daily we meet,

At dawn, noon, and dusk greet;

And I kneel gently,

In veneration at His feet.

For nothing can compare,

To His golden, piercing stare,

Which reignites the soul,

For in its Light, He’s always there.

I meet with God daily,

Far from this worlds harms,

Where hope and love is found,

In His embracing arms.

603. Light of the World

I sat in the darkness,

All alone and unarmed.

For decades I cried,

While my soul was harmed.

No light could be seen,

From without or within,

‘Til I let go of the story,

That I’m born of man’s sin.

My soul then burst forth,

With the Light of God’s Love,

Radiant and Bright,

As I looked up above.

Humans kept me in dark,

And I’d be there still,

If I’d listened to their theories,

On God and His Will.

I went straight to the source,

And my soul lit the night.

I told the truth that I’d carried,

Knowing it was what was right.

Yes, I refused to stay,

Out of sight…Out of mind.

I am not a phantom,

For you to leave behind.

I am a human.

A child, just like you.

I’m a child of Light,

And so are you.

You do not belong here.

This place is not home.

This life is but struggle,

Yet, wherever you roam,

The Light is there…

For it is your own.
