Holiness

Holiness

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Holiness

Holiness is what 
I long for
Holiness
Is what my heart
Cries out for
In the night
My heart
My soul
Wants to be 
Whole
Completely
Connected
But the world
Has a way
Of dragging 
Me back 
Dragging me down
Down to the world
To the muck
And the mire
But even among
The troubles
And the trials
There is still beauty
Even in the storms
Life is holy 
Every life
Carries that holy flame
That fire that flows
Every thing is holy
Every thing comes
From God
Every thing
That makes us
Every thing
Thats inside of us
Comes from God
All life is holy
In some way
Every thing breathes
The secret of God
In every second
In every action
God is there
Sharing his love
And holiness
To every one
And every thing
That recognizes him
And accepts the healing
Love
Mercy
Holiness 
That comes
From accepting
The holiness
Inside yourself
And every one

Yep god is the ultimate. The beginning and the end. He connects all together.
Everything is made clear. There is nothing left unsaid. How beautiful it is to read such words of praise when almost everything that I have read on the site are complex product of intellect and strong emotions of weary souls. This is enlightening and made me think that all the logic and power of thinking boils down to one source - God. Thank you for sharing this beautiful write.

Very nice write! No matter how well intentioned we are, it IS difficult to keep your heart holy down in that muck and mire. One of the many lessons we are here to learn. You may not be able to stop the muck and the mire, but, you can decide how you will react to it! This piece made me think!
