The eternity within
I might have become bitter with age
but my Lord fills me with such sweet wine!
From the inside out, He serves me
(as the world offers its standard gristle and gall),
the generous terms of a surrender which seem
surprisingly, more and more, an intensely shared
bond of triumph and liberation.
When the divine Companion whispers to you
it makes no difference what is said,
whether you make out the words or not;
it matters not what He asks of you nor whether
you are prepared to obey – it is the hearing
of a lifetime deaf-and-unfeeling heart,
the slow turning of yourself around
to see God coming – not from anywhere above
or beyond, but from the eternity within.
O child of God, again and again His words
strike home – we are not we but One.
