Conversation With God
I heard a voice It
spoke to me Of
goodness climes And
lighter lives I
heard a voice This
afternoon. It
asked me whether I was me It
asked me how I felt and charged no fee It
asked me if it made me feel free It
said it might be around for eternity. I
heard a voice It
made me feel Warm
of heart And
assuring arms I
heard a voice This
afternoon. It
rang like the mellowness of a church bell It
rang with sweetness and banished the death knell It
rang with a longing of past lives found It
rang and said love like air doth abound. I
heard a voice It
made me smile And
touched me And
lingered on a while I
heard a voice this afternoon It
stays with me. I
spoke as a little boy would For
it made me feel cared for It
made me laugh and smile Happiness
more than I was prepared for And
it went taking a part of me Which
I grudge not willingly. But
I fear For
where there IS So
will be the tear And
longing and separation Our
twins of life They
prepare not for emptiness And
neither for strife. I
ask myself often What
ho of life To
steal what is yours To
take without diminishing the whole To
give without denying the souls – that be with us Not
to take from those around But
to give them even more Not
to steal from us either For
within we are part of a whole. Together
we are lonely Separate
we are lonely If
loneliness it be Then
life ceases its mystery Its
not whether we know how to give But
whether we know what it is to take. I
heard a voice This
afternoon A
parallel universe Yet
this life itself Life
is not a curse Neither
is belief For
I trust Be
it passion Or
call it lust That
which is within Had
to begin We
are Akin.
Let
the voice add not Neither
let it take Let
it be the talisman Which
prevents the mistakes we made Let
it help us love better those around Let
it guide us through the obstacles around Let
it give us the strength to be For
the moments we might steal Is
but we Conversation
with the God The voice within. ~Vikram C~
