Time Alone For Quiet Reflection. Poem by Brett White

Loss is nothing more than my will to find,
A way to lead light to eyes of the blind,

But our visions of Life are often skewed,
By the pace of deceit daily renewed.

God sees all and forgets not a thing,
Delighting most in the sweet birds which sing.

They know no guile nor harbor any hate,
So sing thy praises before it's too late.

True humanity abounds all in nature,
So enjoy simple joys in the future,

We're never cursed with too great a burden,
So try all thy can to omit thy sins.

For its a challenge not to embrace sin,
All too common found inside every man.

But prayers of Mercy are not unheard,
And readily given when hope's not deferred.

Beware those whose eyes are blind to see,
Life is short, but God's Immortality-

Here before the creation of our Souls,
The Architect of Heaven who bestows

Free-will to man, despite all the pain,
We show another with fearless refrain.

The Sun still blesses the good or evil,
But peace is found within righteous tranquil.

Unkind acts breed endless retaliation,
But in their midst, there is not Salvation.

Tried I have to justify I'll deeds,
But all I've done is fertilize the seeds.

Which spring forth and breed pure destruction,
Plaguing my Soul, hindering construction,

Of a world where peace and prosperity reign,
The soil of charity devoid of rain.

There is only One who causes blossoms to bloom,
Bursting with life from their Heavenly cocoon,

But we have to see a blind world deceives,
By denying Grace loves conceives.

So steal alone time for quiet reflection,
At the joy found within true Salvation.

It's not so hard as to never be found,
When God's Grace alone never ceases to abound,

In a starlit night, endless stars and moon,
Shining bright exalted by the birds' tune.

The simple joys of Life bring peace untold,
Watching the sunrise gracefully unfold.

We take pleasures from fleeting deceptions,
Fooling our hearts with vices' resurrection,

But all we must do is praise our blessings,
And never suffer from second-guessings.

Every day I am not worthy to see,
But I'll give true thanks for Eternity.
