ConsiderA Poem by Andrew jamesA short story about the use of things in our lifeConsider On the wind from
the mountain all would then hear The words of the
prophet whom they held dear The message of
guidance to them he would speak Love’s fire within
he hoped to then pique For the time had
arisen the changes would come With their thoughts
they herald what would be done With loving heart
he would ease the suffering of all For the world they
knew would eventually fall Consider people
the words you now hear Understand what it
is in your heart you hold dear For from your
heart you show to all This world you’ve
created must eventually fall Begin every
morning as you awake Understanding your
intentions and what is at stake By your intentions
your actions do show Living this
purpose all will then know Do not travel each
moment throughout the day Not observing your
intentions and how they must stay Keep to your
purpose and there make a stand When failing to do
so what is your plan? Your purpose will
speak through intentions to you Understand its
meaning and know what to do For intentions language
will be that of your heart If understanding
your purpose you do from the start When through the
day if your purpose you know Your intentions to
others you will then show Seeing this truth
in what you have shown You as this truth
by others are known So keep to this
purpose each day from the start Revealing to
others what your intentions impart When giving the
gift of your heart to each one Your heart will be
full when the day is then done What purpose is
there for you to see? If true to this
purpose you should then be This purpose is
given from God up above Made in His image
a reflection of love Consider now
people the tools placed at your feet Which of your
intentions do they then meet? For the things
upon earth are given from above They are meant to
be used with intension of love We must see the
true worth of the things we possess By the use we then
give them we are put to the test This test we may
fail each day from the start If the tools are
not used with compassion of heart For your heart may
be a curious thing If the song of
your purpose it does not sing For the hymn it
will sing will be one of need The notes of the
song are those of your greed The tools given to
you, you do not see clearly For you worship
them all and hold them so dearly You have placed
them all on these alters of need Then pray to them
all these idols of greed Turn away from the
shadows these alters do cast They are not the
things in your heart meant to last Do not weigh down
the heart with material love Your true purpose is
given to you from above The true purpose
of all is to be so much more Understand there
is nothing for you to want for So cast down these
idols there to the ground At first they will
fall with a terrible sound As they settle at
the ground at your feet Your true purpose
they will help you complete Use these tools to
help with love’s task To be one with God
your heart must first ask Consider now
people the thoughts of your mind Your thoughts are
your intention’s voice you will find Do not consider
them as having no weight Your thoughts will
always determine your fate You believe these
thoughts are something not living But it is through
these your spirit is giving Your thoughts are
intention’s children at hand The seedlings used
to cultivate your land With these
thoughts your life’s fruits do grow Whether they are
bitter or sweet these fruits you do sow Remember this as
your mind awakens each day Your mind will
then send your thoughts the right way Consider now
people your spirit that lives It always will
grow by what you will give Then by becoming
what it gives in its turn The purpose of
creation it will then learn So with this
purpose we all rule our land Aligned with our
Creator we all then shall stand Standing with the
Creator with all as one God’s true purpose
for us we do then become As we become what
we were at the start To give to each
other with all of our heart When realizing
that all are just one It is then the
work of the spirit is done Consider now
people all of the story We must reveal all
we know of our God’s glory Knowing this truth
from the end to the start We see God within
on the thrown of the heart Seeing this truth
placed in our heart The world will be
new as it was in the start Back to the garden
we will then live If the command of
our heart then is to give But should you
decide to remain on this path God’s own love you
will perceive as His wrath This world you
created will end in a day For the cycle of
creation will have its own way So learn from the
words I impart now to you Turn away from the
ways of this world that you do There is time
enough to change where you stand To save everyone
from the destruction at hand The people who
gathered did then turn away The prophet would
weep for them on this day He knew exactly
what their intentions would bring His heart would
break knowing this thing But all was not
lost for the people below For their children
would turn to the path he would show So the cycle would
end for the people this day But their children
would start to live the right way By their purpose
with intention they’d live The true gift of
the heart all would then give So from the soil
sweet fruit would grow Then back to the
garden they could now go Many souls would
come to the land where they lived All counted worthy
because they would give Giving to all each
one at the start The garden was
ruled by the love of the heart © 2013 Andrew james |
