Ambivalent-Afflated-Alliteration

Rating: 5.0


Every step I take is awake
I rest no more -
Every step I take to my wake
Where I rest forever more -
I dance in circles, I dance a round
I dance around myself, a circular clown -
I hear a distant cry
It is my child, it is my father
It is my father's child, it is I -
- All God's children cry
For we do not want to die
We die because of what makes us cry
We cry more and more to go
Where we can go to cry, no more-
Dear God love us to live and
Let us live to love
Let love live in us-
I am a man, I ache to be a better man, than I am
If I can
Can I, if I am? -
I am a man done, when I here finish my lifes run
I run to my end
The end of my run
There I shall slowly walk
Walk slowly, when my run is done
Undone am I, when I die-
I like the ways of Jesus
Like Jesus I have my ways
No one paying much mind to what I see
And no one seeing what's much in my mind
I love what speaks to my soul
And I speak to what my soul loves
I have little use for anything else
Anything else has little use for me-
I hear what few others care to listen for
For I listen carefully to hear
The Holy-Spirit I call to, the call of my spirit
I hear it call, it calls me to hear
Yet, I know not for certain
What it is I want to know
Nor know even with certainty, what it is not-
It is so beyond me
It is within me, together with It I am beyond myself
It is within all, within It we are all together
I am part of all, all is part of me
God is the All in all-
Drawn ever closer to God
God draws ever closer to me.
