"Cross"- Check! Copyright ©

in these troubled times of heart and soul

with my hands empty and my empty bowl

i ran

ran over to the "available" gods

to find solace and salvation

to "cross"-check with each one

whether i will be in line for damnation

churches, temples and mosques

to holy places , to synagogues

to holy men and righteous souls

to friends , family and foes

the quest was to address the storm

in my heart , in my soul

chest heaving and swollen veins

running blood while my soul drains

i ran

ran till i could not run anymore

and then there was the calm

i was scared it was the lull

before the storm

but it was the eventuality which i was to reach

the moment i was born

the greater truth, the baptizing water

the manna from the heavens

and God spoke from within

the voice was loud and clear

the vibration was divine

just like the "last supper"'s bread

just like the holy wine

it said

you ran all your life to seek

seek Me and Me alone

you left the loved ones

to be embodied in My flesh and bone

you failed Me my son

it was Love with which the world was begun

Love which I asked you to spread

Love enough to give away your bread

Love to bring a smile to the faces

of My children , your brothers

Love to bring pride to your father

and joy to your mothers

Glorify the life to Glorify my name

Love life and live it through

let not a moment be of shame

for you have My power from within

to chase every storm

and fill your cup with the rain

so Love and Love alone

shine like the Sun, I created, shone

From Dust you were born

to Dust thou returneth

but Love alone in the midst

you sustaineth

for you , for Me and for all ever born

to Love and Love alone be sworn

thy cup runneth over , thy chalice overflows

when Love your heart bestows

Love thy neighbor , as thyself

You will Glorify Me, my children and yourself

Love, Love and Love My Son

your Journey and just begun

Love , Love and Love My Son
