I am feeling guilty about posting as much as I do, because its starting to look like I use this site for a personal journal, but this came to me yesterday.  So I guess its ok.
Here it is.

This is my third sit in this same spot this morning after my third
walk.  I was walking through the mall just now and I guess a poem
would do it best.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm walking the corridors of my local mall
On the ground between the walls made of store fronts before
opening.
I can see the ground I walk on
Its made of a hard polished white material
But I see farther

I can see establishment.
Angels flying in the sky
Yellowish white sands
Soft brown but sun-touched wall like a pyramid
Glass and the blue sky

Its slow
Its music
Like the formation of natural glass
Or crystal prehaps diamonds

Like a mansion
And the greed in my heart wants more
But there is no darkness here
You see how pointless challenging God really is
He's far greater than you can ever imagine

No pain, no worry
The perfect guitar
You constantly have that feeling of awe that makes you laugh in
bliss

I have to write this
No one else sees what I do right now.
Its what God wants us to see.
Jesus is here.
He has his arms down with his elbows bent and his hands
out in front.

Just trying to see and be shown
This is a city far greater than New York, Paris, Dublin, London, Rome,
They are all but smudge of dirt and filth on a piece of paper
Compared with this place
A place of free spirits and freedom
With a giant bow for every soul on earth to take place in unwrapping.

There you have it.

Corruption is caused by holes in obedience to God.

Don't feel guilty. in fact I'm guessing someone might think this doesn't belong in the dark forum but this is exactly where it belongs, especially since this is where I always am. (in the dark, ha ha ha) it's nice to see a light for a change .
