SEEKING GOD AND FINDING HIM

I sought Him,

whom my heart has known,

In eternity,

Returning to the haunts where He,

And I met frequently,

Thirsting once again to see,

The One who set me free,

Who died upon the Cross  so I,

Could live in liberty.

I found Him,

Whom my heart has known,

In eternity,

I  walked on holy ground as I,

Ascended  Calvary,

Nailed upon a rough hewn Cross,

For all the world to see,

I fixed my gaze upon my God

And He looked down at me.

MY GOD IS HERE

You are here!
Beloved Bridegroom of my soul.
At last You have arrived,
My sovereign Lord and King.
You will have to stoop so low,
To come into the bridal chamber
Of my heart.
Humbly You descend,
My gracious King,
So I can make ascent with You,
...........To heaven.

You in me and I in You,
Encompassing  infinity,
For just awhile.
Your loving Presence satisfies
The all consuming  ardor of my soul,
Which will commence again,
As soon as You will go,
T'will last until You come to me
Once more,
In the Holy Eucharist,
...........Tomorrow.

READY TO LET GO

For My True Blue Friend

Too long I’ve kept a stranglehold,

On fond old memories,

To fragments of a bygone age,

With fierce tenacity. 

Like a child I had my fingers,

Clasped tight around a time,

When star strewn skies provided,

The cadence to my rhyme.

You smiled a little sadly,

And let my heart entwine,

Aware  I wasn’t ready,

You kept your hand in mine.

Clutched in a painful vise too long,

While I refused to grow,

Thanks for staying with me,

Till I was ready to let go.
