He Walked On Water
He Walked on Water
In my youth, I thought it was a farce!
Because I wanted man to be the great
overcomer, not a God!
And most assuredly I found, faith in
man to be an absolute, total bummer!
The darling of the universe!
So obstinate and narcisstic, was I.
I had to learn the excruciating way,
How pig-ignorant it is to try.
College degrees, money, drinking,
endless bonking, vacations left my
inner being so woefully dry.
I tossed the Bible out of my Life and
how blundering I was, struggling
frantically to prove that man was
all there was.
The endless impoverishment of my days,
The fears and tears and loneliness, oh!
These lasted decades and decades.
My crackbrained struggles to find
ultimate truth in folk songs?
Yes, they are still out there with the
pretense of having the world's solutions?
How could I have believed such trash?
I belonged housed, in an institution!
It was decades of a God-less travail,
Some very harsh lessons I had to be taught.
Yet, once I invited God to live within my
soul,
Days of vile emptiness and the most vile
addiction of alll~~proving I was the best,
were removed and gone!!
Gratefully, with one invitation to The Christ
absolutely and suddenly all madness ceased.
(This is the life and truths of a grateful
and not yet accomplished poet.)
