lord

my lord

i need your help

i need your help right now

i have followed you

as best i could

but sometimes all i feel

is far from home

i have been drunk

i have been stoned

i have felt your presence

in the marrow of my bones

o my lord

i need you if ever i have

to see you

to touch me

like you did the first time

when you made me see

when i finally believed

my road to damascus

my road of destiny

is a ways

i’m hoping for a sign

a dream

anything

lord i need your help right now

Finding faith is often easier than keeping faith when the world throws its slings and arrows.

The door is never locked.

glad to see you, glad to read you

I can feel the pull of faith in your earnest words, Xavier. Love the road to Damascus reference - aren't we all just a lightening bolt away from revelation, after all?

quit searching, be quiet, and you shall find him....he is already there... in the beating of you heart ...in the restlessness of your soul..he has never been gone or away...he breathes your every breath...loves your every love....

and it's just that simple; that despite the gradual ascendance of human vision, the giving in to
the ritual of self-loathing, greed, abundance, pretense and getting high, a larger prize will fall
down before us. Destiny is a mothefucker. I've been sick. Broken. Brokenhearted. Given up on.
I've even, at times, given up on myself. But I always seem to come back to that need for someone
and something greater than me. Grander than poetry. I believe there is a God x. After all I've been
thru........there just must be...

great poem my friend...dana

i just love the third stanza...what great wording...a plea, a prayer...looking for that sign...any sign.

I do a similar prayer daily. Not for me anymore. For my children and my grandchildren. A scary world is here and we need a better way. I liked the prayer and the thoughts create by the strong words and thoughts. Thank you for sharing the powerful poetry.
