Peering into the luminescences
silencing the waves as lessons
Seeing through crystal crests
To be so thankful
To honor so reverently
My Lord, My God
Who came to me
Who spoke to me
In matter
Uniting the threads of spirit, time and mind
unrelentingly lifting me
against my selfish pride
Not an easy task
I thank thee
As I gaze into the wishing well
Mindful I need to continue to be
As I pray these heartful silent thoughts
in humility of servitude
in remembrance
of the time you gave
Undaunting in the blood of life
You shed for me
At great sacrifice
For the love of of love divine
In the wishing well of time
that presents itself before me
I wish, I pray, I know the price
I live these thoughts today
To respect the love of God in all
At the cost of being closer
To being within the sword of truth
That slays at my ego
From that and this day forth
