the evening

As the evening draws in,

I stand with my back towards,

the waning sun,

and my shadow grows long,

Covering all that I have been given,

All those I have known.

 

Is it a spirit of darkest foreboding? 

or a gentle presence touching those I love? 

I wonder what will remain,

When the sun goes down?

I wonder.

 

What will survive in the dark of this night?

When the frost and cold, 

and the thief and vermin,

come without care to call, 

and take a prize. 

 

as the evening draws in,

I wonder what will remain come morning?

(Counterpoised with this)

The truth will set you free.

Truth the white,

Truth the light, 

Truth that spring of pure water,

Freed not by privilege but, in hope.

 

This Truth heard lives in the heart,

and Truth in the heart. 

Divides the dark,

Darkness gone means, 

There is light,

a Light to the way,

To live a life,

Life in the full, 

Fully alive,

now there is truth.

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

He is truth and life.

Where can I buy this truth? how I want for instant effortless satisfaction

Can it be seen, can it be known? Can I touch and feel it whe I am alone?

Will I know it when I see it? Will it fade away?

Truth in the soul brings peace and

Truth in the mind Guides theGuides the hand
