I Wake Up...

So long asleep I was
For so long
And so long
A very very time long
Such a time that turned to be long
An increasingly time being too long

It could have been longer
It just stopped
For ages
For years, decades
For months, days
Now I am Up
I wake up
I tremendously shake myself Up
Discovering how much life is within these walls.

Both physically and emotionally protecting me for years
Where was my heavenly Brother then?

I just wake up
Realizing how long out of my sentimental life I left him
He was there for me every single second
my prayers answering and...
Partially in his hands was my love life

Fault of me and these invisible doors
Fault of these guardians I left the control too
And my sweet Lord Jesus at last with him I dealt

He stood By
These doors He helped me break
He woke me Up

So now I could say

I wake Up...
My invisible barriers,
Doors, mountains, seas
Oceans, continents never
Stopped pain from reaching me

I was on the edge
Thinking to myself that everything was fine
Sure they were the best guards
Increasing more and more their heights and depths
Their widths and sizes and averages
And...

Oh Lord

To go through this break up it took me
To cross so many rivers it took me
To travel so far I needed
To myself find alone in such a city
Necessary it was
Before it hits me
Before I wake up
Before to you I turn entirely
Before the break of dawn

You all that time was the best guardian
You all that time through that pain helped me

Doors were on the floors
Because of you

Definitely and eternally
I Wake Up
I am up
I am Foundation
Up, Up and Up

Dear Readers,

Today's poem springs from the passage of Luke 9:49-50 where a man is not with the Apostles yet he is using the name of Jesus, and what a beautiful reply from our Lord. It is one of my favorite passages. I am happy that it was the word that I got to meditate on, and I am as well thrilled that the Holy Spirit inspired me to write on it; the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus.

Dear Readers,

today's poem is inspired by a reflection I had all day long on Mary's Fiat. I pondered on something that I read from a priest called Fr.Gaitley. According to him, even Mary was prepared to walk by faith for the role that Jesus wanted her to take on as our spiritual mother.

I thought it would make sense, complete sense, but then I pondered about her and wrote about how we surrender to God's will like her. Where are we in our Fiat toward God, the Holy Trinity? the One God in Three persons?
