613. May I Walk With You Always

Let your hopes be my hopes.

Let your ways be my ways.

Let your path be my path.

May I walk with you always.

Let your Light be my Light.

Let your rays be my rays.

Let your will be my will.

May I walk with you always.

Let your joys be my joys.

Let your days be my days.

Let your heart be my heart.

May I walk with you always.

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.

611. Extant

Why are you screaming little one, little one?

Why are you hiding in the dark? Come. Come.

He can not hurt you…not anymore, not anymore.

The world left you for dead,

But God opened a door.

Why are you crying little one, little one?

Why are you huddled in the dark? Come. Come.

Time has passed by and the sun has arose…has arose.

The world left you for dead,

Yet the Light only grows!

Why are you frozen little one, little one?

Why are you standing in the dark? Come. Come.

Close your eyes, take a step, look and then see…look and see,

The world left you for dead,

Though you live eternally!

606. Only God

Nobody can help you.

Not her, not him, not me.

There is no one upon the earth,

Who can be there for you, fully.

Humans are mere mortals,

So don’t expect too much.

This life is simply a pathway,

To the next existence, as such.

No one has the answers,

Or can promise to stay.

For no one is given the choice,

To keep time from running astray.

Only God has answers,

And only He is there,

When everyone else goes away,

Only He will still see you, and care.

So sit with Him awhile,

And talk to Him of doubt.

Come to know that all will be well,

Within your spirit, and without.

Only God can help you.

Not her, not him, not me.

God is there…watching and waiting,

At the door of eternity.

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.
