An Intimate Conversation

May I serve
whatever the capacity --

and not be dissuade;

God knows His faithful,
not by glitter
nor by volume of voice,
but by salves of compassion

knowing no color
knowing no shades
nor party of affiliation

may I nurse humbly, soothing
and healing, while bearing the
stigmata of love -- 

For Christ-like is a cleanser,
a shredder of sin -- 
a star of radiance, a moonbeam of
warmth, a sun rejoicing in the 
projection of Divine Light

Though tents of shadows
riotous they abound

let not your heart fail
to make the short step…

though the chains rattle
and cuffs’ metal dig in,
no one who moves in
the direction of our Lord,
in good faith, will find
a path more brighter, spiritually uplifting, 
for Truth swings wide open Heaven’s door 
to even one from grace seemingly fallen

Amen
