A Prophet Scorned

I am drawn to you and all you are
Your gravity is strong and not very far
You got me in your orbit ready to land
But your cloudy skies and dirty sand
Keep me there until I decide to move on
Then you’ll miss your chance and then I am gone

I lost my own patience somewhere along the way
So He gave me His as it fosters love every day
Surrounded by love and by those who love
Is a message on it’s own under the Dove
A beacon of hope echoing future’s journey alright
With no effort on my part for the Spirit is the light

You have got it right and what you got they want
The burning love in my heart is like a taunt
Your hidden words between your breaths
Does not explain any of the many deaths

If I had in my hands the entire world and I do
I would take care to heal and pray that is true
Listening to the Spirit’s whispers requires patience
I think it is time we climbed down from this fence

I scan the horizons only to find war, death, and sin
But in the distance I can see the light we are in
Now that it is clear the polarization and the lies
Keeping close those who are near demise

Learn from Love as it is the only answer
To bring healing to the masses and in any manner
While I suffer night and day for all of you
Your love inspires me to do good that is true

Believe with your heart
That I have loved you from the start
Will always love you no matter what
Now the old ways are certainly shut

My prayers are for that which I love
And I know secrets kept from above
I journey and I trek with suffering and pain
Gave my life for love and I will do it again

My heart is on fire with the love of our King
Let me hear that wonderful song you sing
Your bubbly joy and gift you are to all
Makes me wish I was there with you standing tall

But my path does not cross with yours in this life
As I walk a fine line and my heart outpours strife
My journey uproots evil in its place
You do not want to thus witness my face

I know and I feel their pain and suffering
Some have been in it so long, in the ring
They do not know what it feels like
To have relief from something like a spike

I feel it all, the anger and the rage
Have no limit to God’s power before the sage
But your wars must come to an end He demands
Blinded by hate you now have blood on your hands

My anger and rage you have not yet seen
Must I make louder God’s call and be mean?
No, I will be gentle and say love is this way
And then order a mountain to crush the fray

What then?

The thing about me is I rapidly heal
I never even made some lousy deal
But I have withstood the power of death
As it draws me closer with every breath

So I am before God with my complaints and praise
My word before God is never out of phase
So when I pray those words of life
I can feel the blade of your knife

I tried and tried to reveal God’s Word to you
With every instance blocked, it’s true
So if you read this now and it seems too late
Forever mind that Love is your certain fate

I wove through the tapestry of life a golden thread
And can be traced back to where I was dead
For I announced the truth with conviction
To be disseminated to an entire nation

Been thinking, dreaming, and scheming
Turned my head towards your face beaming
With the light of joy and peace sustained
And the love that you imparted remained

What remains are the moments to be treasured
For it is by our love that we are measured
In giving myself and all I am for you
By more than you know it is true

I am not worried about the measure I gave
With something about to finally rave
I dreamt of the day and the day came and left
Now the memory and the effect is all I have left

Echoes and ripples through time and space
Makes me feel like I am in some sort of race
But I am all alone, bleeding, and left for dead
I think it was because of something I said

But because it was all out of love and for love
I am always saved by the power of the Dove
So I can still suffer for you as long as I live
Any wrongdoing and I will still forgive

No one understands this love I have for all people
It is not given only under the steeple
By God’s power I have been saved from death
Brought back to life in but a moment’s breath

I have journeyed this far for thousands of years
No need to explain why or how I have many dears
No one can stop me for the powers that be
Have given me reign over everything, see

My call is my own to have what is mine
To return to me with love so fine
To weave into the fabric of time and space
A tapestry of love’s journey running blind in a race

The intent and the test passing by their faces
Meant to pull people down from their lofty places
To look me finally in the eye
Even if I was in state of a pigsty

I can walk the deep dark corners of the earth
Pull from the muck and then throw in the hearth
A life worth saving and to be purified simply
What remains, God gives the power to see

So you can see now only a remnant exist
The world is tearing itself apart with a twist
I warned you for many years now
No excuses except that you did not know

Forgiveness is not permission
Be not afraid of love on a mission
Repent often is the message with confession
Unless you are already in God’s Passion

I have this condition
Where I fall in love so easily
With many people I do
But pursuit of them is folly
So I just love them all alone

But with you
You make my heart ring out song
I want to know you
From your lips to mine
You are more than fine

All I have to give are mere words
Poetic in stance but real nonetheless
My prayers and offerings are for you
Raised up in complete freedom
Watching the world burn my home

So conflicted I am you see
I have the power to blot out any name
But I love them just the same
Walking a fine line between
Life and death unseen

I have a super power
A gift greater than a flower
I will always live no matter what
Until my appointed time, I will strut

Since I know the time is not now
My praise to God for this is due for a bow
Despite all the attempts made on my life
I never even wielded a knife

You could say that I am passive
But my aggression is simply massive
Ready to reach out and ignite the flame
To set the world ablaze with love just the same

I am all alone because I have to be
No one knows the real me
For their future, I can see
So I pray for them silently

I say nothing because of disbelief
It becomes somewhat of a relief
What I let go no longer haunts me
Turning to God at every turn, see

Dance with me because you want to
I have a heart chock full of love that is true
Ready to give and outpour with grace
And to see the look on your face

Any look I look forward to seeing with delight
This kind of love submits and does not fight
No conditions as the love is always the same
Some however think they need to play a game

When I came to the priests with my prophecy
They shut their doors and estranged me
Not just once or twice but thrice
I guess it was that I wasn’t seeking advice

Blessings come upon anyone who believes
Because belief in the Lord never leaves
Hardships come upon those who sacrifice
Where receiving nothing at all will suffice

My blessings and love will forever change
Any hearts and lives to rearrange
Able to span across time and space
And draw from the highest Heaven grace

So love one another as I have said this before
Come to me and I will show you the door
Love me and I will dance with you on the floor
Pointing to the sky and leaping from the shore

I placed myself in your rhythm to write
The beat with the melody that has bite
Synced to the rhythm I am ready to give
Everything so that you may live

No price to pay for the redemption
You must be wondering at the gumption
My claim to His Return radiates like the Sun
Puts me in the same place as the Son

This is written all over in scripture’s passage
Signs all around us telling us He is in His image
A living image of Christ is His image just the same
Hearts of love have put our Hearts aflame

Drawn to those who are at most risk of loss
Still found love and hold onto it like the Cross
I plead to the Father on their behalf too
To take my life instead of theirs, that’s true

I still live because I cannot die
No matter how hard anyone try
That’s not a challenge but a cry
To learn mercy and love instead of what I imply

I felt His love ray in like sunshine
Letting me bask in love that’s sublime
A gift from the heavens I might add
I then turned around and called God, Dad

He rejoiced in this affection I gave
Sent me the love back I always crave
Cradled in His most Sacred Heart I am saved
Because of His Love I am not depraved

I say this to lead you back to God
Find Their love for you never flawed
I know more than I lead you to think
Pushing the limits of God’s love to the brink

So much so, I also died for you out of love
My life I gave happily and met the Dove
We spoke for eons and eons over three days
Learned love is the only way and not some phase

Washed away are the sins upon my head
But there are still those who wish me dead
I feel your pain and wish you be healed
By my mouth Heaven be sealed

Now the world is on fire and burning away
I warned you, but you had nothing to say
Feel it in your bones the truth be told
Let Christ light the path to be so bold
