A Mystics Verse, I Will Isten
A Mystic’s Verse, I Will Listen
I roamed plains, prairies, climbed peaks.
I fell into seas, slept and dreamed in valleys.
I groped about, lost in darker veins.
I rode a white mare into burning light.
I crept endless roads of loss,
Trying all the angles,
Having only a touch of vague friends.
Never simple. Not easy. No foundation
Before I asked for you to come
To touch my soul. To surround. To capture,
To pervade.
In the absolute. To expect
To hear your voice, which by faith
Of a knowing I would...I did. Believe.
On a hot, June night, laying out flat
Back on the dusty floor. Secluded.
I did not see the hovering dove. But, I heard,
Not to my outer ears.
To my fully inner receiving. Undeniably you.
Greater than an intuition. An expanding
Of the soul to total revealed being —
In communion with the message;
In surrender to the creator of love;
Bringing an ecstasy.
Of the Promises. Of all possibilities.
Of those visions of the prophets. Full messages.
No more roaming. Tho altogether freed.
A rose brushed onto my life. And
Words sent to comfort, to grip, to secure.
Made a witness. Called a daughter...
Hearing the calls to her soul.
Alleluia! Lord be praised!
Bless us, every one.
