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.

Your prayer has been answered, I am moved by this write.and the song with it. The feelings you expressed are sincere. It is good to be honest to oneself and to God.God knows all our needs,but he likes to hear us speak to him.It is good to do an introspection on oneself on a daily basis. I have a fresh day and a fresh start with this piece.God bless great writer..

I see how the music being attached becoming epidemic.
I do not know what made you said that first stanza for you can read through the depth of one's soul, you've got just to believe that you do, Dhaye. It is also evident in your series of poem lately, how you yearn to dance in the rain. Intriguing who the rain is, really though I am taking this as an another prayer from the depth of your heart...

[Dhaye]

Another prayer, Ms. Belle. This will go to my book VOICE OF FAITH.

"Dancing in the rain" or "not letting the bad stuff get you down" is my prayer every moment.

Before, I considered rain as the symbol of tears and pain, but some friends reminded me that the rain is good...it's should be the person who should learn to dance in it. Does it sound intriguing? I made different themes with the rain as the subject, so I made another book ECHOES IN THE RAIN.

Thank you for dropping by, Ms. Belle.

This is very lovely dhaye, each of those stanzas could stand on their own and have their own distinct voice...brava!

[Dhaye]

Thanks for the visit, Frieda. Glad you like this.
