Poem Title:
Poem
Long Ago, I gave my life to a vision beauty, And it ruined and blessed my life forever, I met a taskmaster, who was relentless, He showed me my sin, sin after sin, and I could barely bare it, But through it all his still small voice said, “Woody I love you” And there are moments friend, There are moments, when he opens up the Sounds of Heaven to me, And I feel a peace and a joy that are unequaled by any time I could imagine, Like for instance, today, I preached at one of my best friend’s Churches, And I preached the theme, when a seed becomes a Storm. And my friend read poetry, And my friend arrived in laden apparel, And it was a like a dream of old, come true forever more, The Fantastic Four, knocking down windmills and furrowing eternal friendship, And at the end of the day, my wife and I sat down and cried tears of empathy and passion and healing to Gridiron Gang, I tell you this world is harsh, And so my King must be tough on me, He must relentlessly remind me of my emptiness and inadequacy, But in all of his chastening there is the still small vision of a beauty more captivating than any World Wonder, I tell you my King is tough, But beyond his toughness there is a soft still comfort, And my love for him is so deep in this moment, I yell and scream at my savior sometimes like a jealous wife, I curse him out, I dare him to show himself, And time after time, he responds, “My son, you are beautifully and wonderfully made and I love you” I tell you, in his service I have suffered horrors I couldn’t have thought of in my wildest nightmare, And yet his protective hand has always been on me, He is the King of all I tell you, And I am unafraid to embrace a Buddhist or a Muslim or a Jew or a Hindu as sisters or brothers, For I know of my Saviors protective Jealousy, He does not fear my adultery, For he is confident, He nudges me to explore the universe and see him in Vishnu and Siva alike, And like the Sivites I sometimes say to him, “God where is your mercy?!” And he answers with such sweet caress, And he answers with such sweet murmurings, He is the End and the Beginning of my joy, He is my coach, my lover, my friend, my King, my confidant, my brother, my father, my boss, my master, my life, my heart, and I will love him forever!!!
