Eyes of God

I run and hide amidst the night
Looking for a quiet corner to rest
But still you follow…
I ran swiftly up time formed mountains
And ran slowly down eroded hills laced with black lilies,
Tripping and rolling to a stop, eyes to the sky
And still you follow…
The ground dropped beneath me
And my arms opened like an eagle---
Freely I glide in the streams of my past
Only to be lost in clouds and pity
And still you follow…
Let me be! I scream,
So into the welcoming sea you drop me,
Salvation at last!
A place where none can follow
Alone with my thoughts and self
Sinking to darkness and a forever sleep;
But still, I see your yellow smile atop the waters surface---
Sadly, it seems you still follow…
My mind washes onto a whitened shore,
Body fatigued and sober to the new day;
Your sister’s light follows me as I walk across the horizon
Where death and fear converse with my heart
To lie about the “One” that I call “God”;
Her warmth for the moment comforts my faith
Until doubt once again returns in the eve
And in the bottom of my drinking glass
I see you still follow…

Marcel

An exceptional and astounding read...
Many facets afire in the stone.
