Pillar

                          Pillar         9/16/96

Thank you for your word, Friend
I know you are a man of your word.
I want the same now as I have wanted from the beginning;
To be ablaze in your love, safe in the indestructibility of your truth.

Please, come.

Set us burning until all the dross has been removed
Even now, the truth burns away everything that stands against it
And we turn away from the illusion to the reality
No longer confusing the two.
Wholly yours; an astonishment to the worldly
But wholly loved by You
Wholly accepted by You
Rescued by your jealous love

Please, come.

See how she has striven so long against the subtleties?
See how she mourns, so sorrowful and lonely in attic places?
She knows you are the one
But her antagonist is very cunning
Just as Eve’s was
She is stubborn enough to resist him,
Even though she cannot match wits with him.
He does not have her heart
Even though he overruns her house.

Every minute, I wait for you.
A living house .
Every minute, I wait for you
A resting place.
Waiting
My heart hid in you.
I will rise in splendor
My place next to you
I would be a pillar, and peace to your heart
