HEALING GARDEN:Revelation Station (1)

In the beginning
I walked, choosing my steps
     ~with Grace~
But one day
My Love, led me
....to a very dark place

"No light! There's no Light!"
I wanted to believe the black
Was a certain sign
That my Love lacked
      ~compassion~

Love compelled me forward
While fear pulled me back
The war raged
Between TRUTH and fact

Then, finally, I came to it
THE place of my final work
No audiences to please or people to see...me
Just hellacious cutting, while creatures lurk
.....waiting for opportunity....

"No reward! There's no reward, my Lord!"
With no relief in sight
I used my anger
To pierce my night

Swoosh! Clang! Sit! Weep!
Rocks and trees, with no fruit for food
Just rot and muck
With this frustrated mood

After years of work, never letting up
I finally saw the SON break overhead
Love shone on the areas
Where I avoided with dread

"Wolves! Wolves wait for me in the corner!"
Their teeth are sharp for the tear
Love compels me to approach
With my skin completely bare

.....to be eaten...alive....or, maybe, already dead...

"I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of love, joy, and a sound.....mind..."

Oh, my Love, this is my mind
This place of horror,dread, and fear
How did these wolves come to live here
Please give sight to my blind

I saw, for the very first time, the system of fear
And glimpsed the heart of My Love, bringing me here

...led me Lord, I will follow.
