How foolish I have been.
Like a moth that tried to fly
To close to the candle’s flame, got singed
And returned, wanting to share with others
This life changing event:
Being united, embracing his Love.
I too have been altered
By the Light of another Flame.
Now, wandering on this street corner,
Fumbling to tell my story to anyone who will listen.
Worst than laughter, I am ignored
And left alone, to silently remember;
My brief Journey to the Sun.
Perhaps, I will stand quietly
Reliving that glorious hour
When, for an instant, I touched Infinity.
Yet the pain and distance
Of not going further
Still tears away at my heart,
Not letting me rest.
Alone- left to limp along,
Living in yesterday’s rapture and pain;
Continually calling out to my Beloved:
When will you touch my heart, again?

how true!
It remains me of the song by Leonard Cohen, which can be found on YouTube: If it be Your will!
it says: if it be Your will, that i speak no more, that my voice be stilled, as it was before. i will speak no more, i shall abide until
i am spoken for, if it be Your will.
if it be Your will, that a voice be true, from this broken hill, i will sing to You. i will sing to You, all Your praises they will ring. If it be Your will, to let me sing.
and it goes on from there – it is a very beautiful song, one the late Author/Singer says is a kind of a prayer that came to Him.
if anyone hasn’t heard it, they should listen.
Sorry i’ve not been around – not been feeling well of late.
