A time to care 

The gentle flicker of my soul
belongs to you .
The one who
in the garden of my distress
planted the seed
of knowledge, helping me grow
and bend ,
giving me the hope of another life.
You have set me 
on the path to truth and justice.
You are my keeper ,my thoughts ,
my maker,
holding me in the bosom
of lovely cherished song and rhyme.
Singing to me of black pearls 
floating down streams of kindness
made of liquid silver.
I bathe in the melody
and 
dry myself with the words,
my lips parched in the 
radiant light 
but healed by the honesty of it all. 
I would love to swim in the depths
of your thoughts
and learn whom you love.
Hold me in your lasting arms ,
let us light 
a star in heaven
for the love of mankind. 
Make me a lover of all people,
showing me the way
to your divine heart and soul.
Let us bring forth the love
so badly needed in a desert of caring,
and 
breathe your breath of wisdom
into the midst
of the
mystery
