Story of a ppalling life ... PART TWO

(PART ONE was Wed 25 April 2012)

AND yet, and Yet, and Yeti,

there’s monsters as I go:

my song’s left at the jetty,

the blast is quite a blow!

But friends help on this journey,

sometimes by singing too,

other times  it’s by learning

to be moved, singing blues…

And to know there’s something more

beyond this little life,

like the “new teeth” in a jaw,

their coming, though, brings strife!

God, I’ve often asked of you

for your help when I speak,

& when I act, & think, too.

Now I’m starting to peek…

..at,  & with,  your heart & mind;

I asked what’s good; but weak.

This real-iz-a-tion, I find

helps me, like you, to seek#.

Seeking is a precursor

to thought, & word, & deed;

like placing your screen cursor,

then, you do what you need..

..might need to type, or “delete”,

or “cut & paste”, or “copy”;

which-ever kind of feat,

wrong-placed, will be sloppy.

Seeking will involve Looking,

Listening, and what not;

and recalls Jesus’ hook-in

line “Use the ears you’ve got!”

Oh, I’m heartened by that thought.

If he encouraged it…;

& before he saves, he sought,

I’m on his trail, to wit,

“a seeking trail for what’s loved*”,

& this will show “the hand”

(to be pierce-ed, or gloved)

 of where one’s treasures stand*.

# sent by a friend (PM) via txt on 1 June 2015:

Give thanks to The Lord. 
Let everyone know what He has done.
Seek The Lord and your heart will rejoice.
Seek The Lord and His strength. 
Seek His face evermore.
Remember His marvellous works which He has done.
