The inward and outward journey

On the inward and outward journey
now that I am set free
So many things to envision
So many things to see
For God helps us make provision
and provides for our every need

The journey is narrow and hard
and only if you have a strong heart
to set out upon the seas
to see to others needs
will the arrival be to the Good Home
from where the untouchable light shines

The inward and outward place
where clouds dance sublime
To kiss and behold His face
To feel the Joy Divine
To Love and touch freely
Souls to behold nearly
.

Only something small

Only a small token
of what was really spoken
in a language deep and soulful
to myself languishing rent and woeful
For to uplift and vouchsafe
for goodness sake
for His names sake
Take me now Lord
I am your child and servant
On earth as it is in Heaven
In rain as it is in shine
Your word is in the world of mine
Your goodness makes the colours sing
Your touch has created everything
And everything signifies so much
For you left Your mark as such
.

So remains

From the fire I bring you token
that from darkness may be woken
From the logos be this spoken
New lights shine for thee
for you have befriended that Man from Galillee
So long as love remain free
So long as words remain true
So long as The Way come through
So long shall you be in youth
.

Free Love enquire within

Love that is not free
what could you be
A bargain to buy
someones' freedom to try
A trial of the heart
Love freely or depart
For the soul is granted
A free gift we all want
The gift of life to live
Graciously and generously He gives
So great is His love
that all may receive
All are begotten when He conceives
A soul so gentle
He will let you have your way
even that He knows it will ruin His day
He does not judge you for how you treat Him
Only that He judges with perfect Truth
.

For Dear Mark, a rare flower.

I have sinned once more
Walked too far from the shore
Waxed a fever of shame
Blackened even Your good name
Yet they tell me You remain Pure
Each blessing somehow remains good
A prayer never goes unanswered
Father, You are always giving me chances
Your tender touch makes me greater than before
You are waiting at and as the Door
So come Great and Eternal
Rise from the earth vernal and youth
You are some kind of beautiful flower
that dies and passes, to give rise to the fruit
And as the bright flower of The Flame rises
to give life to the vapours of spirit
So Your body has ascended
from the word and risen in to wit
.

To give

To give I must sacrifice
Just as You gave
You lived a life just right
and Your Father raised you from the grave

To Love I must vanquish lust
To live a desire pure and just
You Loved me from the first
You knew me before my birth

To save I must Love with pure Heart
To not judge a life torn apart
by the flame of sin. Whispers
from within and from the spirits

And You saved me Oh Lord of Hosts
Hosanna Father Son and Holy Ghost
You saved a wretched thing
You knew me from the beginning
.

The Blessed Garden

A walk in the Blessed Garden
A prayer soft and ardent
A reach of my hand towards a ripe peach
A caterpillar proudly creeps
So many colours in Your eyes
in the sky
The blue sky wide
The grass cool and soft
The apples ripen and drop
at my feet
My joy complete
You are the Way
oh Lord of the Day
The Church is Your bride
The blue sky wide
.
