TRuth

By I.M. Ulysses

Who are you
And why are you here
Have you been sent
To dry these old tears

A sweet gentle voice
That calls far away
Awaking the heart
Like the sun's gentle rays

A few little words
That brings back to mind
A measure of worth
That has been denied

Can you restore
What has since fled
And bring back to life
A spirit half dead

This I don't know
As I sit here thinking
Of what may happen
When my eyes stop blinking

Maybe you're just
A lost little angel
Looking for love
In a man still a stranger

Whatever you are
And however you came
You have to accept
That not much remains

For once I was larger
In her eyes than life
Before she got scared
And brought out the knife

She cut me to pieces
Then ripped out my heart
And from that day to this
I've been torn apart

Are you the one
To brave all the storms
From the tempest unleashed
In a heart still forlorn

Or will you flounder
As others have since
Drowned by the agony
Of the hell I've been in

It won't be easy
For this heart to save
But I admire the courage
Of the strong and the brave

Thank you, dear sweet
For bringing me hope
Lost as I've been
At the end of my rope

I never expected
That someone would care
And show me a path
Out of all this despair

Fear not tomorrow
Cast down your sad thoughts
And believe in the Power
That Heaven has wrought

The place where I am
Is where I've remained
Praying that God
Would remove all my pain

Seek me and find me
The Lord did to me say
And I'll give you comfort
And show you The Way

But my ways were dark
And the path seemed so dim
No hope and no reason
To struggle there-in

That's where you found me
On the road to perdition
Heading to Sheol
For my bad decisions

Deserved was my fate
Till you turned me around
And showed me the face
Of a mercy unbound

Now I'm at peace
Awaiting the moment
When I can show you
That I'm bowed but not broken

Bent at the knee
I slowly arise
Too look at the face
Of a lady so wise

My armour is rusty
And my blade is quite dull
The chainmail is broken
Yet the heart remains full

As I look on your face
The truth comes at last
I've been living a dream
These many years past

Awake now I see
The fool I've become
Longing for death
Instead of freedom

This you must know
Before it is time
When God reveals what
Is His will divine

Be brave my sweet angel
Fear not I'll retreat
No phantom will haunt
This heart when we meet

The Crowned One I am
And for this I was made
To stand at the altar
In God's power arrayed

Like Boaz of old
I'm here to redeem
The promises made
To Naomi's blood stream

Like knights of the past
My word is the Truth
You restored my hope
Now believe in me, Ruth

For Ruth P.
Remember, the pizza's on me! (;->)
Hugs!
Ulysses.

Dearest Steven, You are the blessing to me. And God is caring for you and giving you great gifts. I'll try not to be scared from my past. RP

So be it-as it is to be,and as we move on it shall be even more or less.Good words flow from the mouth of a wise man and there can be on question you are a wise man. When we think about some of the things in which you have published to the world it is truly enlighten. Feel even more free today than you felt yesterday.The road in which you want this planet to move too shall come one day. A great blogger you are and a even finer mind you have in its expanding orbits of wisdom-thank you.
