Trust in God, trust in Me...saith the Lord...

The sun above a goblet wine
bled of broth of reddened grapes
whose lips once full of drink now dry
whose blood runs deep within the fold of golden chalice deep
it does not stir though the heat does try
her lips are chastised from speaking words

below the sun
below her knees
a valley runs with hills and trees
of flowers gazing upon the grassy roads
of greenish yellow tufts that boasts
only of its length and width where God's toes
touch its surface
like a bed of reddened roses

upon this floral menagerie
a monk like dwelling- a monastery
her lips are shut
her hands both solemn
psalms and prayers erupt just between the columns
of the palms
both are closed in contemplation
upon this place for divine revelation

A soul has found itself right in the center
where the sign reads "quiet" but, "please do enter"
without the proper attire though
her welcoming did quite bestow
a presence of an outcast present
her heart is beating upon this place where she stands

O God I feel like a child within this solitude
for the world too much for me to handle
with much arrogance mingled within proper attitude
I suppose this would fail me in terms of aptitude
still You call me come forth to You
I came though scared but still
the valley within so calm so I walk still

Your hair so golden beneath the sun's great shine
Your eyes so bright yet blue if I could imagine through slits of narrowed eyes (which were mine)
Your voice is like the gentle winds
beckoning coolness to come within
Your hands they brush my cheeks and then You said
lay your burden here and leave it...
rest yourself upon this bed
which is my breast where you should find your home

I am God Yahweh
Your rest is with Me
I will lift your sorrows and set you free
Why do you come with your head hanging heavy like a burdened tree
with fruit so bitter deep within
was not victory claimed on Calvary?
Did I not die and resurrected for you to be close to Me?

O child of Mine I know your name
for it was born within Me before you came (to be)
I knit you secretly in the depths of My mind
to have you put within a womb to be formed
O child I called you by your name
You know it's Me for the fire burns within you like a flame

question not what I have made
question not if you did well today
if you tried, and tried you did
that's all the merits and merits it
I did not say you need to have it all made in one sitting
it takes time to master the things a master does in a student's place

Take the flowers which forms from the branches of the trees
then carried forth its pollen in the wind
her merit came from nowhere but here you are...it is
breathing beneath the trees
are plumes of greenish leaves- a great wide beast
whose natural size is that of a troll
whose leaves shake green then that of gold
then rust within the breath of autumn's breeze
then dies as winter would please

she has her purpose
and performs it so
does not ask for a grade or merit when it has done what it's told
if you, My child are more to me than any kind of loot and gold
why do you doubt your purpose here?
did I make you to feel doubt and fear
did I not cast it from the rood where I once was nailed?
I died for your fears and rose with courage and life for you so that you may be
the potential creature I've made for you live in Me
and I in you...

invest not upon the hands of careless men
whose intents are calloused by riches of this world
whose lips praise Me then goes off to tarnish it with opposing sins
whose eyes marvel at My glory but covets the things not of within
My kingdom....

Invest in Me and things of My Kingdom
for they are things worth more than any thing untold
for the world's possessions can be taken away
but Mine are forever hidden with Me
that it shall last forever and ever more

Forsake this tiresome crusade
if gold is your thirst and soul's persuade
which can only lead to earthly accolade
why built empires upon the dead
when you can built on something that will last instead?

The solace fortitude on which you stand
stands firm as faith commands
this quiet place you find your mind to ease and then
think of what I've said and
trust in Me, I have great plans
set for you and children which I have gathered in My hands

let your worries come to ease
lay your burden at My feet
that I may lift them off from you
and replace it with peace and rest that you may feel renewed
I knew you before you came to be upon this earth
and know that I go before you always
to assure that you do not go astray
that every path leads you to Me... everyday...

upon this quiet solitude
though my lips utter not a word
my heart had cried out unto the Lord
and He heard my call and came unto me
that I may repose within His arms
that He leads me always far from harm

O God You are my fortitude
even within this solitude
that I may find my soul to be renewed
O God bring me closer and closer still
that You and I are one
like the You and God the Father,
and the Spirit...God all three
You are to me my freedom and my glee....

O God I am calling...out to You...
