Watch Over Me

I laid my head on your reassurance.

I crawled into your lap.

Prayed for all the world.

Felt you succour-warm my life-ache.

I trusted you.  You rewarded me.

 

I miss you.

I can no longer lodge my trust.

I have nowhere to lay my head.

I hurt in small hours.  Alert for nothing.

I ache loneliness when I am tested.

I haven't you by my side.

Faith - I long for you.

 

You were dispelled with empty reason.

Sold on lies about lies.

Never once did I consider you separate from religion.

I know now.

 

I have Faith.

I Laud in your glory.

And I needn't follow a crede designed by a so-called holy committee.

I needn't praise a God I can't know, just to feel your comfort.

I own my own Faith.

Explain you my way.

And I need never feel alone again.

Thank you Juan.

I guess I want to make the distinction between faith - a feeling, energy or emotion - and God - perhaps a being or supernatural entity.

Personally, I think it's all forms of energy. Don't know what you think? But it's all interesting.

And I wanted to make the point that it's personal. So I have my faith, which is my interpretation. And may - probably does - differ from another person's.

Thanks for your comment.??

Beautiful...Religion in the popular sense of the word is not of God because it presents so many barriers to relationship with God...Thanks for sharing this poem Rich
