The Preacher

Press play and let the music play as you read, if you are on a laptop.

Salute.

When you were born

Did you know

God wrote you into

The Divine and Eternal

Majestic Book of Life

It may be filled 

And overflowing with tranquil moments

Of deep happiness

A dash of serene 

Soul refreshing 

Love 

Or maybe endless

Seemingly all-consuming strife

But know this

Deep inside 

That hidden room where you

Stand in emancipation

Free from bondage or slavery

When you sleep

His plan for you 

Has always been

For you to conquer those dark daunting

Slow-moving lonely nights

To willingly use whatever is within
Your reach

Find someone or just something

To learn from and love as they begin to 

Unravel and teach

Above all
Know this

God so loves you

And waits for that

Final loving embrace

On Eternities

Never-ending yellow beaches

But for now

Simply always
Prays for you

As he lovingly 

Watches you simply

Stumbling around

And as your life slowly evolves

And rolls

To your everlasting soul

He

Nightly silently preaches

Will you listen though?
