Would You Listen?
If I Said I Had a Message
If I said I had a message
That was meant just for you
Would you listen?
If I said I felt
Divinely inspired
To tell you something
Would you just
Think I’m crazy?
What thoughts would go
Racing through your mind?
Be honest.
Would you listen?
I assure you,
I can take it.
I am prepared to meet you
Where ever you are.
Even if it means
Not now.
Even if
You choose to walk away
For now.
I will still be here,
When you are ready.
If I told you that
God has spoken Light
Into the deepest shadows
Of my heart
Would you listen?
I know…
The world has become
A dark and crazy place.
Anger and fear,
Judgment and hate
Sorrow and sadness
Hang in the air
Threatening to suffocate
With every breath
We take.
I know…
That I’m not worthy
To have been chosen
For this task
That lies ahead.
I am only human.
I’m no more or less
Thank you.
I am nobody special.
My heart beats,
Pumping to the rhythm
Of those same drums
Our ancestors once beat.
Just like yours.
My heart also breaks
Under the sorrow
All around us.
I have felt fear
Over much of what I’ve seen.
Our world is ruled
By harsh injustice.
I have felt pain.
Yours, mine
Doesn’t matter
It’s all the same.
But I know now.
There is Light
Beyond this darkness.
If I said I had a message
Would you listen?
