AFLOAT

IN THIS WORLD OF CONFLICT
WHERE MONEY IS PARAMOUNT
WHERE MAN KILLS MAN
IN THE HOPE OF SOME FAME....

OR EVEN DEFAME
HIMSELF
TO CLIMB THE LADDER OF SUCCESS......
BUT, WHO, THEN ENDS UP IN THE CESSPOOL OF

HATRED
WHERE NOTHING IS SACRED..
IN, OR AROUND US......

AND IF
WE CHOOSE THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
THE AFTERMATH
IS THE WRATH
OF THOSE THAT DON'T BELIEVE......

FOR ROCKS AND STONES WILL BE HURLED
UPON US
COZ WE CHOOSE THE PATH
THAT LEADS TO THE GOD
ABOVE US.......

THE DARK AND UNHOLY
DON'T LIKE THE LIGHTS OF ANGELS, SURELY,
THAT ARE ABOVE US
AND TRY TO PULL US INTO THE HOLE OF DARKNESS
UNDERNEATH US.....

YET, BEHOLD, THE JUSTICE AND THE MIGHT
OF THE OMNIPOTENT IS SO BRIGHT
AND SHINES IN THE DARKNESS
THE UNHOLY SLIDE
TERRIFIED OF THE LIGHT
THEY SLIP INTO THE DARKNESS...
THAT IS THEIR PLIGHT........

AS I SEE THE JUBILATION BRIGHT
AND SERENITY OUTRIGHT, ENCASED,,
IT SETTLES OVER MY MIND, BODY AND SOUL
AS I SING PRAISE..
AND THE GLORY OF GOD PREVAILS.......

AND MY LIFE STORY
COMES TO THE END OF IT'S CHAPTER....
I SEE THE LORD
WALK INTO MY HOME
AND HIS LIGHT SHONE
FOR NOW, AND EVER MORE.....

FOR THE LORD HAS BLESSED ME
AND HIS GRACE SURROUNDS ME...

YOU ARE MY GOD
AND SAVIOR OF ALL
I THANK YOU, AGAIN AND AGAIN
WITH WORDS, ENTHRALLED...

MAY YOU BESTOW UPON ME
THE STRENGTH AND THE GLOW
THAT COMES FROM THY NAME ALONE
AS I GO THROUGH LIFE'S TURMOILS
SO MUCH
AFLOAT..........

DESPITE THE FRIGHTFUL, TURBULENT STORMS
THAT HAVE ROCKED MY BOAT.....

My poems reflect the pain and suffering I went through in my life and how the Guru has worked miracles in my life.
