X Inspirational Poetry

 

Idols

 

Veiled in dust, their faces faint

with soot, the precious figure claimed;

It can’t defend the ground it thrones

no soothing words from lips of gold;

An empty shell, they choose to praise

to imitate the loveless gaze;

Where is your power, you wooden pack

compassion and wisdom, you surely lack;

Your image airbrushed, framed on the wall

the masses bow, you fooled them all;

Deceitful you pretend to care

for no one knows, your real affair;

In cinders, you were sent to hell

from time to time to return and repel;

I have no place for such in my life

my heart is taken, to Heaven we strive

(english)

A Carpet of Petals

 

A gentle breeze, so softly flows

to bring with it, what has been sowed;

From trees and grasses, flowers too

in spring the petals, after bloom;

Drift with the wind, across the land

to where he guides His gracious hand;

They reach the ground and settle in

to form a carpet, made so thin;

I walk across in pure amazement

what’s laid before me, in it’s placement;

In time it will but disappear

for which we long another year;

And so the cycle is complete

the carpet forms again indeed

(english)

 

 

 

A Prayer

 

I pray for you and me today

for all the things I cannot say;

So in the dark, I lay awake

to you, my Lord, I did so spake;

And in the silence of my room

you come to me, under the moon;

I think of you in all my deeds

you are the One, who tends my needs;

In all our hearts, you take your place

and lift us with your tender grace;

Confirm our love for you so true

for everyone who never knew;

So guide us now forever more

you are the son, the virgin bore;

And be with us until the end

share all the Love, that you have sent

(english)
