I Wish I Could Tell You

An autumn rain of yellow leaves,
celebrates the season in my soul,
and waits for winter to come.
I look up at the clouds in the sky,
where one lost butterfly passes by.
I reach out my hand to Heaven,
trying to grasp the hand of God,
as in the painting of Michelangelo,
but in my case with clothes on.
Words can come in many ways,
like arrows that pierce your soul,
or an uplifting consolation,
that makes you happy,
but the words of God are both.
Two in one, they pierce my soul,
and fill my heart with indescribable joy.
I wish, I could explain what it is like,
to hold the hand of God,
but it is an experience to be discovered.
It is an adventure to be lived,
that can only be felt,
by the one brave enough to face Him.
My heart pierces with love,
and my gratitude rises up like smoke,
from a burnt offering I made,
in the heart of the Lord’s Temple.
The feeling of my bare feet walking,
on the golden, glass floor of Heaven,leading me to God’s throne,
is an indescribable joy,
that still fills my heart and makes it whole.
I wish, I could tell you what it’s like,
but you have to discover it for yourself,
and I challenge you to give it a go.
Allow God to walk into your life,
so, you can walk into Heaven,
with a pure heart and a clear mind,
to learn about the love,
only God can show.

The always present force of Love,

that cradles a baby in her sleep,

lives in the depths of me.

Ever present, it is an energy,

with lungs that breaths light,

and a heart that beats,

on the purity of His own soul.

In the gentlest touch I find Him,

asking Him to never leave me alone,

and I try to hold on tight,

to the soft robe that holds me.

I cry bitter tears of feelings,

I generally never feel,

where grieve and joy have immersed,

into one big emotion,

that overwhelms every inch of me.

I am trying to overcome the fear,

trying to prevent me from coming closer,

but it swallows me up like a whale.

Inside the whale, I live for three years,

until finally, I am let go,

and love grabs me in one single flow.

All I had to learn was to let go!

The released control can no longer,

find me where I have always been –

I have moved on.

Moved on from the fear and grieve,

that pestered me for so long.

All there is left is deep peace,

that welcomes the silence like sleep,

cradles me in the evening.

Love has taught me to grow,

to let go of the control inside me,

and to release the butterfly,

that has been imprisoned in my soul,

all this time.

I have moved on,

from everything I used to be,

and everything that I have done,

or has been done to me.

I have moved on,

and the splinters of my cocoon,

are the only evidence of who I used to be.

Today, at the hand of Love,

I have finally become,

who I was always supposed to be –

today, I am free!
