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.
