The Reality

They are with us..' life and death the chance to look Or look away.' To involve to speak or remain silent.' I will be maligned if I do, maligned if I 'do not' what To do? Which is best.' I read its on the tounge that Power.' Yet that power i covet not.' Nor any brutish power The power to overcome.? That I consider different.' There is much to overcome, starting with myself I Must consider? some I have achieved.' Some i must Still work on.' There is also how I am percieved by Others.' Maybe that can only be overcome by God.? What is death? What is fear.? Even life temporary here.' Lord I've seen your strong hand, i've spoken then forgotton I had no plan.' No true idea of what you could.' Do I'm learning Father I do, cry loud to you; I did some wrong I learned from man.' I'd give so much, to change so much Now not in my hands.' Bereft of pride, of human sight.' I can trust it not' its range Or light, For its fading blurs the lines, twixt anger and hate Twas with me so.' Thoughts of calm yet flashes flew I'd wander aimless..Saying I knew.' Now I need your grace Your guiding hand, I wish to share, a love so grand its Love, your love. I crave it more.' I wish to bolt the pasts Dark doors.' For Iiving in my early life; consigned to You Midst dark deeds rife, something like Moses was my Birth, brought up in a home of cunning and its gilded worth.' To Be as one..'Yet not i was not alike; its hard to think to Quantify i wrestle with reasons, I resolve now not to try' I'll lay it all before your power, the truth and and hope Lord the worlds lies; I'll trust you to overpower' You alone know it all, the same today, as in the fall.'

You ponder the depth of emotions, Joe. Strong feelings in this dialogue on life and reality and much longing for guidance to resolve life's turmoil. You made me pause and think.

I am grateful that you took time To consider, Vijay I am feeling heavy In the head tense, like I suppose An animal might? that is trying to Break through a barrier to allow Movement for itself and others May God bless you abundantly.'
