Poetry

I have been everywhere in this world
Yet I have gone nowhere
I have seen everything that a man can witness
Still I remain blind
I have done all, much of which I dare not speak
But I have yet to reside in fullness
I have yet to allow peace to resolve my heart

Never can a man know himself when half of him has gone missing
Never can a man show himself when he does recognize his own reflection in the mirror
How can we identify him without a face?
Who shall we say he is?
To not be whole is an empty space
To possess a bottomless hole is an even darker place
Fill it then and be whole
Feel comfort as it was meant to be
Be then complete in perfection

Yes, I have lived the equivalent of 3 lifetimes to most
And found only one thing to fill this empty hole
To complete this aching soul
True Love
And this can be found only in love itself
In God Himself
For we love because he first loved us
This can only be given through the break of the veil
In the mystery of God
Which is Christ Jesus
And in the riches of that mystery
Which is Christ in you
To my first love and last fortress
Thank you for saving one who did not even deserve your glance
