Tell me your name,
perpetual presence.
Could you spark the fire
of a spiritual peasant?

Come and sit,
and have a cup.
Come out from within,
filling me up.

Tell me your name,
comforting shadow...
whisper to me
so I'll know that I know...

it is so important for us to listen and watch for the lord is around us all the time waiting.  This is another one of those poems in which there is margin of opinion.  I atleast think it is reminding us of how softly god whispers

 you can't make footprints in the sand of times that you are sitting down

Thumper--a whisper is always preferable to
         a yell...

ellie----thank you for understanding.

Janet----I'm so glad you got it--because I
         truly wanted to convey the comfort
         of my morning meditations/prayers.
         I feel like you felt it too. Thanks.

Name? I AM that I AM.  "Be still and know that I am God"

When you can't make up your mind
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
What Would Jesus Do?

This makes me think of "Be still and Know I AM God."  Good reminder to sit quietly and meditate with him.

I like the sense of personal identity & seeking--the wanting to know the Divine one better-who is already so close-He has to "come out from within."  A warm & wonderful poem, is what I see here.  Thank you,serenity- it seems quite true to your screen name.   David

As a practitioner of an alternative religion,
I sometimes feel that my thoughts on this theme may not jibe with the mainstream...I hope and I pray that I may continue to share
my ideas, and I fully appreciate the positive, open-minded feedback.  All paths lead to God.

Lovely writing.  I think everyone here believes there is only one God, and we all believe in Him.  A different denomination doesn't change Him.  One pastor was asked how many were in his church.  He said, "More than Noah had in his."

So many times we wonder what it is the Lord wants us to do, and if we would just take a few minutes to stop, look, and listen, we might her what it was he was trying to say all along, and your Poem so soft and sweet tells of just that, it was great
