The Lord is my salvation and my light,
the stronghold of my life, whom shall I fear?
Protecting when the foe attacks by night;
the prayers of his children he will hear.
O holy Lord, my sin has been a veil,
a waywardness that blinds my eyes to you;
a poisoned cloud I willingly inhale
that dulls the spirit and obstructs the view.
One thing I ask, Lord; this is what I seek:
to gaze upon the beauty of your face.
The dark is often strong and I am weak,
remove this veil that I may see your grace.
Yet now we walk by faith and not by sight
until we see, with brand new eyes, your light.
a meditation on Psalm 27
written 16 Mar 2022
Why, why,
the question
upon all the world's
lips
Why,why
with a world
weary sigh
they ask
and wonder
why
and yet
with the
same voice
deny
aye
deny
again
and again
inherent
waywardness
constant
self centred
ness
ego
worship
a theism
of me
me
me
for beyond them
selves
they cannot
see
this
earthly
reality

Ambling along an unknown forested terrain
attention softened, humming a happy tune
I was drawn to a clearing of divine beauty
when four demonic forms blocked my path
seeking settlement of karmic debts owed
before I proceed to set foot upon holy ground
Without a flicker of hesitation I nod to agree
acknowledging they are entitled retribution
for erst acts harmful caused by me to them
accepting that the laws of cause and effect
being immutable must be honoured cheerfully
that we take responsibility for waywardness
No sooner this telepathic dialogue so ensued
I was engulfed with a soft white radiant light
from and within the voice of God Himself spoke
dissolving all misdeeds with a wave of His hand
whereupon the apparitions instantly disappeared
leaving me in the presence of the shining one
My Father took my hand with gentle kindness
leading me to a home where my twin flame stood
allowing that we both should live together happily
to fructify soul promises to love in tenderness
living out our preordained life spans upon earth
illuminated by the breath of His omnipotent power

"When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth." Genesis 4:12 of the King James Bible
Wandering nowhere
Weary to find home
worn-out and anxious
worried, guilty of
waywardness from God…
Willful, soul feels
worthless as faith
wavers, seeking
way to the Lord…
Watchful for
wisdom, I'm
welcomed to…
Where God
wants me…
Win!
