The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and rescues those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18 PMV)
...............................
Oh God is this true?
I'm right glad of it,
when I'm feeling
"blue",
or else "in the shit"
-of my own making
('n-I can't clean it up),
or others taking
time to (on me) dump.
Two things now jump out
re. this, I see, whence
one comes from my doubts,
one from my pru-dence.
Prudence wants less spent;
notes "brokenhearted",
not "a bit up-set"
('tspast where it started!),
"crushed in spirit", not
"not feeling myself".
Why wait till we've got
broke 'n crushed, no wealth?
Three answers appear
to me as I quest:
* A drowning man's fear
must be put to rest.
* We can't be "in
charge"
when rescued like this.
* This One with Love large
heals us with his kiss.
Each one's a story
which o-pens up life,
to th'point, not boring
(like my lovely wife).
If the Lord is close
to his children who
are broken the most,
and he tells us to
My question from doubts
is some-thing like this:
The Lord's where abouts-
when nothing's amiss?
And answers I see
com-ing thick and fast:
* since we ate that tree,
has this come to pass?
Has there ever been
some-thing not amiss?
- In the whole world scene,
or in me, dismissed.
Maybe my job then
is "admit my state"
(e-ven, if and when
I feel to "elate").
* maybe eyes of love
in this broken place,
get ignored, or shoved,
till our breaks erase
all our dreams of pow'r;
we see what love sees,
and we see that Our
Father's in the breeze..
..that just caressed us,
which would blow away
our cares and fretts (does
not do all we say,
but he loves us true,
gives us heaps of choice,
yet says what to do
for small girls and boys).
* 'nless we actively
'nvite him to help us;
"Come to rescue me",
we'll eschew the fuss
that he makes to save
us who need his strength
this side of the grave…
Will we trust at length?
