The Only Way



Meet Him first, in prayers, then peace. Meet Him soon, in praise, sweetest praise. Meet Him last, when death silences the breath… then, in paradise, where His love will forever erase all the past’s pain, all the fears, the darkest days – with love that will always be the same, love that will forever remain! – by poet

In the still breath of an autumn, soft
	Verses, visions, memories and contented
		Feelings, drawn beneath the sentimental
			Words, promises, peace and wisdoms, trembling…

Echoing hope across the breeze, windy
	Trails of mystery, shadowed by the heart
		Who feels like yesterday, though now passed,
			Is dancing through the lemony leaves, in rustling…

Rusts and tangerines, mellow laughter
	Coloring the oaks with a sense of grace,	
		Heartfelt intimacies, epiphanies, fantasies,
			Playing melodies, songs with wings, inviting me…

To twilight edges of a lifetime, blessed by
	Lingering moments, in Wednesday tears,
		Pouring from the dewlike murmurings 
			Where light seeps in, through the reflections…

Arising beneath the mountain peaks,
	Alive like the new day, before praise
		Reveals the music of a life, sincere
			Abiding in the carefully created…

Moments, before time left her doubts,
	Resigned to the destiny, the cloudless
		Skies, overcast with the mourning light,
			Lasting to tell the world what it means…

To see through the darkness, considering
	Serenity, soothing, silent sincerities, seeing
		Answers to the wind’s soft blowing, moaning
			Praising the One who made a way beyond…

Where the moments turn to shadow songs,
	Where the twilight grieves for dreams long gone,
		Where the promise are made and hopes paved
			Where I know the meaning of praise, singing praise…

To the One who gave, gave and gave…
	To save… oh, I’m so thankful for all He gave
		To save… save me from the darkness, the pain
			Of eternity without His love, the reason I obey….

I’m so thankful, all I can say…
	Because He saves, because He forgave
		I’m alive today, and I’ll forever say…
			He is the only way – He is the ONLY WAY!

He gave us plenty, is giving us plenty, and will continue to give us plenty. Oh, pity the person who does utilize the grace He gave us. Blessings.
