Ten Supplications Of A Sinner

 

               God respects the freedom of will

                                                  of human beings to the sin’s limits.

                                                                              Stefan Wyszyński

 

My Lord

light the lamps

in the travel corridor

of events

Pour bile out

beyond the frames

of my being

from the decayed dream

embers

Lead out of

the lunacy

of unripe sunflowers

Burn weeds

in the thicket of paths

of temporal existence

 

Among the winds

caressing fields of grains

take me

like a crumb

Atomize into thousands of particles

on Your Homeland’s

heavenly planes

and…

 

Awake me

my Lord

Yellow

my Lord

Green

Let me take away

sin slowly

like Your Lamb

White

                                                           

God is closer to us than we to ourselves.

                     St. Augustine

 

Though Invisible

and Not Present

 

He leads me

by the hand

 

I only want

a small percentage

 

Of shares

in His Passion

 

Angel Of Mine

 

We recognize an angel when he has passed by us.

                                                              Martin Buber

 

Angel of mine

Guardian

don’t go away

too far afield

 

I want to have

protection

under Your Wing

snuggle

into It
