“No Heart Can Hide”

“No Heart Can Hide” #TradCatKnight
By: Eric Gajewski (from the book F.O.S.)

The immense dark clouds begin to form in view off in the distance
This unsettling stillness of the soul, a helpless heart offering no resistance
Bold and frightening clouds that join hands together to pull each other in
Resting above this startled soul, an offering of rain to combat repulsive sin
Preparing for the howling winds & the colossal storm in its might
For how often it comes in this chilly dark, how often it comes in the freezing night
When the Sun never shines yet is always somewhere there
A most desolate night, a most holy walk, with Cross seemingly naked before all & bare
For Love wast won in this night and not in the gleaming warmth of the day
Therefore, endure the walk for it is law
That after winter months of the soul shall then follow with May
Everything within so slow, painful, cloudy, broken and powerful
Crushing the mind and senses, into unknowing, a soul so sorrowful
Like Our Lady, Beneath these Clouds of Day & into this holy night
Walk in Faith and be not afraid, do not give into "self's fright
For the Son above is always with you
And on occasion your reassured as it cracks through
For the clouds up above must stare straight into your heart
Stripping your mind of what you thought you knew
Thence the clouds begin to dissipate releasing their hands & losing their grip
Slowly disassembling as the final few tears above produced slowly drip

And once again the Light that was always there but could not be seen or felt
Speeds life back up once again, warming your skin and causing your heart to melt
In Love's painful oscillation between Light and Dark I must learn to reside
For in the dark when all is lonely and all seem to leave your side
Painted up in the night is a glorious Cross by which no heart can hide.
