....Tombstones....
And He said unto them
"No greater love hath a man
Than he lay down his life, for his friends...."
Well, I have tried to lay down my life over time
Beyond any desires of recognition and or fame!?
If only but for a moment amid this existence
Days which so very quickly fade away, within this place....
In hopes that I may become but a vessel
To perhaps save even one souls precious light!?
As I gaze deeply upon these Sonadora's
Within amazement and astonishment sometimes
But I do understand and I do believe
The fulfilling of their desires and of their needs; belief....
Innocently, these heart felt dreams ~
Which in turn causes me to love them even more
Ow this paradox that I seem to find myself within....
For to embrace them is, all that I long to do
But I cannot often find, these different temporal views
My eyes cast into the forevers gates of beyond
A slave unto eternities realities it seems
Chained within the Holy Spirit immersed inside of me ~
This will of my Lord and Savior, "Jesus Christ!"
He whom delivered my own soul from such bondage
Of sin and darkness' encumbering eyes....
Ow that I could please all
That I could be all?
But no, I shall build my house upon a rock
The foundation of truth and promises I so grasp; tightly....
That no storms may ever arise again
To find my soul crashing unto the ground
Unto this mound, of distant and lost ruins
Which may have one day been?
So, now within this anguish of flesh and blood
Let my heart set aside, these wayward dreams
If only but even one soul, it can be saved?!
And within this potters field
I shall adorn this tombstone
Before the world, and all of 'their' eyes to behold....
That I may stand upon the throne of "God"
Someday, aside the prophets and the saints
The Angels smiles as they joyfully weep
"Well done My child ~ Welcome home...."
For now I lay me down to sleep
That Heaven may hold, my soul to keep!
