Behind the wall
Mercy
broke the walls
surrounding me.
A single word which
a thousand prayers
did not produce
came to me
in the darkness.
A road of light
lay before me.
Peace and insight
came at once.
I was in awe.
Wandering is hard work
Father change me-
I have tried to change myselfand have not managed.
Searching-pain is a cliché,
and still lemmings run
as fingers go back to the fire.
The unseen me….”
The unknown me,
except by you….
“Your will is my will,”
I say then
here I am doing,
when believing
transforms.
My
Blood Cries Out
Holding
back tears
I
feel a primordial
call
of a homeland
from
which I was
separated
long ago.
Is
it God I long for
or
my ancestral home?
It
seems I miss a place
from
which I never came
and
desire to return to
a
place I’ve never seen
a
glimpse of green and
craggy
hills with gently flowing
streams.
Is this the
place
I came from
or
just a place of dreams?
