In the depth of earth’s secrecy
Two things loom large:
Stark ignorance-night
And
False conviction-pride.

In the depth of Heaven’s secrecy
Two things loom large:
Blue Compassion-sea
And
Red Perfection-sun.

18. What I did instead

Lord, the day I met You
For the first time,
You asked me
To open my heart on earth
And
Open my mouth in Heaven.
But
What I did, You know,
(Of course You know)
I opened my mouth on earth
Instead,
And I have been planning
To open my heart in Heaven
Instead.
Alas, I am now dancing
With my disobedience-ignorance
And
Deception-perdition.

Since I am living
In God’s own Eternal Time?

Into the past.

In the core of uncertainty.

God has to be sought,
God has to be caught.
How?
By becoming more vigilant.

God has come to me;

Anything in return.
What He really wants from me
Is a satisfaction-smile
From Perfection-sun.
