may I so live
may I so thrive
that folks will know
I am alive.
how dreary should
my life be so
if someone asked
who didn't know.
For I seek YOU,
(not "yours")
when hearts are far,
that should be near,
and hell and sinner meet;
not knowing that death
for One of God
is easy going
and taken on the feet.
they see (they must)
the fire and steel
the driving force
I also feel.
and so it is
or was
or is yet to be
that I am defeated by the cross...
YET
freed from temptation,
as I am so
and so I glory
in the loss.
and i forget that You
(who Live to Die)
(and rise again)
care more than i
so wallow in the loss
but listen
to my tears asinging,
see my heart
on its bare knees
as I heard God asighing
for a world astray and dying,
us both lost souls crying.
death de(i)fying...
But... why dread the disentangling?
because if we die, when morning breaks
the Risen Son
discovers us
and then awakes.
so, let there be LIGHT MY WAY
for all of life lies ahead.
And yet...
we could not take too much of beauty,
(breath-catching glory) (ecstasy without relief)
and so God makes life brief
and Peace comes
as suddenly TODAY
as the storm came
a day ago.
Glorious He,
through the echoing
of our empty hearts replied
"I shall be waiting for you
at the very spot
where you left
my side."
all as before
Down For The Ride
where reality surpasses dreams.
:)
