Poetry
Like a sheep wandering away from the shepherd,
I have wandered far away from my abode.
Like a bird that never returns to it's nest,
I have been flying and perching on strange trees.
I have looked for water in the wilderness of life
I have looked for food in the desert and dry land
My soul is exhausted and weary for lack of satisfaction.
I yearned for peace and tranquility in the midst of chaos....
I searched every mountain and valley for answers
I longed for love and comfort in the mundane
My eyes failed for never ending tears
My heart hurt with void and emptiness
In the dark and lonely night
In the hollow of the death, I fainted.
I heard songs like sweet melodies of old,
So clear I could dance to the tune.
I heard a thundering voice calling out my name from the deep,
So demanding I could not resist
In the midst of all these, the still small voice said
"Return! for why will you perish in the wilderness
For peace, love, comfort and joy await you at home."
Oh! the sweet abode I once knew
Oh! the love and warmth I once felt
Oh! the peace that is priceless
Oh! the joy that is endless
Oh! the music sweeter than honey
Oh! the aroma from the blossoming flowers
Oh! the embrace of love
I must return to the abode I once knew
I must call off the search for it is fruitless
I must give heed to this inner voice
I must put off the garment of pride
I must find the winding way back to LOVE
For in returning and rest will I be saved
Yes! I've got to return to the lover of my soul........JESUS.....
