GUIDE ME

on the things I don't know

I don't know how to read
Through the depths of one's soul
I don't know how to hear
A veritable call.

I don't know how to catch
When somebody throws a thing
I don't know how to show
All my sincerest feelings.

I don't know how to refuse
When a good friend would ask
I don't know how to prove
Why I keep my trust.

I don't know how I fall
Though it's a silly thing
I don't know but I want
To sing and dance in the rain.

Oh, dear Lord I don't know
Why I'm so weak and frail
I ask Your guiding hands
Be the light to my way.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

This is such an innocent and gentle poem. Your delicate words almost sing off the page. Sometimes we know we can not be the ones to walk through this life with all the harshness out there... we are frail and can not see the entire picture. Or the depths and nature of a soul...the ones to trust and those to avoid. But there is always the one who does know all this. To give Him all of us and let Him guide us like a cotton seed in the wind...well that is the best feeling, knowing we are completely taken care of and loved...never to be guided wrong. Gorgeous write, Dhaye... needed to read this today... thank you for sharing your beautiful heart here.

Thanks for dropping by, Kalypso.

Excellent line of thinking here… do any of us truly know… we often do things and act certain ways that are even a mystery to ourselves…. that is why we can't always expect other to understand us.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, cowboy.

[Eddie Davis]

Well, you DO KNOW how to write a heart-felt and powerful poem.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Eddie. It's not about what I KNOW...it's about what I FEEL.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

Seems this is a self-expression...
of understanding and finding guidance...
in the way the structure is form...
as if a prayer of sort...

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Glen. It's really a prayer. I only rely to Him because there are things I really don't know...

Last two lines Hear My Mind . Sounds better if penned this way
" I ask Your guiding hands and be the light to my way "

[Dhaye]

Okay, I'll take the suggestion. Thanks for the concern. =)

[Raymond Federle]

[Dhaye]

That's the (sometimes) hidden beauty of life; we feel we need to know everything, be in control at all times, appear always strong. No, God made us to connect and need, to help and help heal, to be weak at certain things so another could be our strength, while strong in other areas so we may be a weaker person's strength to draw from. You ask the Lord to guide you, and He will...sometimes Himself, sometimes through friends or strangers.
A humbling piece of writing...and another hidden beauty from Dhaye!

Thank you

[Dhaye]

This seems not normal on you. LOL. What happened? Do you have more free time now? Do you want to read all my works? Haha!
Thanks a lot, A.

I read more of you than you know. I don't or can't always comment.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

You draw the reader in with all the attractions of everyday activities and then take us to a more sympathetic place of physical despair and a plead to God, I felt moved, very good indeed.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Sheema. :)

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Neon. :)

I read this write again and today I found something authentic into the words. The soul wants peace and the body doesn't ever wish to be in pieces So, God let me hear you what you say, what you give, what you planned and what you see for me, for my future because the world's filled with pain and now no more! No! No! I can't consume more pain the world gives whenever I step forward to fly, what stops me to fly? What thwarts me to? It's what that whisper me into my ears that come and get hide into the darkness? Tell me! Tell me, God! I want to hear from you! I want to be a light, it's an aim of my life so, please let me hear you, let me be with you, please "GUIDE ME" coz, am stuck into the world you made, where are you?

That's what I got from the write today! It's a cold weather here, a bit shining, misty, coldy, hazy at all and your this write takes me to the world of peace.

Great job! An excellent piece of the art!
It's an artistry!

[Dhaye]

Thanks for another visit, Neon. Glad you really like this piece and has touched you. May you be guided by the Lord also. =)
