Water Lilly Sitting In the Pond
The cold wind blows furiously in the night
circulating the northern hemisphere
sending frantic chills through my body
absorbing my tired sweat
and sucking up my passionate breath
I woke up this morning before the break of dawn
with the frightened wind knocking on my door
and something calling me towards the bleeding shore
I entered outdoor in the mysterious dark
and parked my truck on the side of the street
at the bottom of Elanor's park
A yellow taxi crept slowly me behind
as if it wanted to communicate with me
but it quickly vanished around the corner
I took out my bible and read a verse
to expel the bad spirits from the universe
I felt neither grief or pain amusement or shame
except for the night wrapping its arms around me
trying desperately to seduce and entangle me
But I quickly untie it with my determination
strong will authentic power and dignity
I walked over to the platform facing the pond
and read a psalms
then prayed a strong prayer for my allies and friends
Locked in a dialogue with God
I communicate in a language that only the spirit could utter
I could see the savior sitting on the throne
and its presence was all around
My heart searched deep and my spirit connected
with something divine and unfathomable
The English language was not on tongue
and I couldn't understand the words I was praying
But the supreme being understood
the impassioned cry resonating from depth of my heart
Something began to move into my womb
And I started singing a joyous tune
I could not understand the language
because my spirit was praying it
The darkness stared at me
as if I was at the peak of my destiny
But the bright headlight from the glowing truck
confronted the brazing dark and dragged it into the light
We looked at each other eye ball to eye ball
and a brawl ensued and ended in the big hall
The Gods could not contain it
and my spirit could not bear it
But the master took care of it
No sign no sound just the water Lilly sitting on the throne
and countless stars in the heavens watching over me
I commune with the master in a language unknown
and this was what it uttered in a silent whisper
"my hope is build on nothing less"
"On Christ the solid rock I stand"
all other ground is sinking sand"
I looked over the still pond and the water Lilly sat proudly
proliferating energy all over the land
Finally I joined the big circle
and become a wholesome one
Water Lilly sitting in the pond makes me shiver.
