What do you seek?
By: Mark Cummings
What do you seek, seeker?
Do you hear a silent
Mystery calling you
In the quiet
Vanities unreality
Poison to veins leave it
or dark conscience to reign
Tossing thoughts about the storm
Rushing the bloody stains
Weariness gone
Should something
Different sing it's song
And come along
Do you hear it seeker
in the flowers
and the bird songs
the mighty butterfly's wings
Beat to so much more than effect and cause
Fluttered colors stop you to watch
what do you see in those
simple things
not just colors and notes
i dare say something
deeper than deep
the name "I AM"
Called to by the countless century saints
Never in vein poor or rich
All heard the same
Truth in bone and marrow
Light calls to light
Turn and run with holy might
Cherish like sweet water
found in the desert wild
Drink of new life
Savior nailed
Repentant criminal Mercy he finds
"Today you will be with me in paradise"
Holy King breaths
Last breath to Holy Father
Lightening strikes curtain torn
Blinding Truth
Three days later
Death dies Forever
So seeker
What find you
In your seeking in the "Silence"
Not in the wind
Not in the fire
But in a quiet, Holy, Whisper
I AM
