POEM: “Nothing In This World”
By: Eric Gajewski
From the work, “Fortress of the soul”
Press play and listen as you read
“Nothing In This World”
“Nothing In This World”
Nothing in this world is safe and
secure
Except You,
I lied so many times in this passing
world
Which only provokes the self
I dined blindly and made a bed with
thy enemy
Till thy lovely gaze took hold of me
and became my help
I was smiling on the surface but all
the while dead
Until Your touch came and thy Fire was
felt
Nothing in this world is safe and
secure
Except You,
For a once complex life now is made simple
in Your arms
Uponst Your sweet hands I rest
Blessed, in these inner fields of
peace
Produced by Your broken and bloody
palms,
For nothing in this world is safe
and secure
Except You,
I thought I knew it all
Till life stopped and my heart
paused
Seeing You thrice fall
This was enough for me, on my way
now to Calvary
To plant myself by Mary, beneath the
shade of thy Tree
As an eagle who seeks only to eat of
thy Body
It is here! Oh Mercy… in my most
violently suffering
That I hear You inwardly most
loudly
Yea, nothing in this world is safe
and secure
Except Thee,
I entered this cruel world stained
Yet it was You who took away my
blame
And it twas thy Love which turned me
into this fool
I am a sinner still, riding upon the
ass of self
But at the same time have hopes
To be where thy glorious Saints are
too
Nothing in this world is safe and
secure,
Except You,
With Thy every Word, a match was
struck
Nay, my false city crumbled
When into Thee, I, reluctantly, at
first, stumbled
Having now prepared “the kindle” for
my soul
My heart thence caught Fire, arising
out of the muck
For nothing in this world is safe
and secure,
Except You,
They say life is a journey
But what good are my steps without the
map
Yea, it is only Ye who possess the “eternal
entrance”
Thus, in You, I, alone hope to be
Nothing in this world is safe and
secure
Except You,
Mayst the angels sing forever
Mayst the sinner repent
Mayst we all persevere unto the end
For Love’s hands have tugged upon my
heart’s lever
Nothing in this world is safe and
secure
Except You,
A heart without You must follow the
Light
Poor souls, not knowing, they are really
lonely
For Love has the highest seat
Your Sacred Heart secure
And my safety is in thy own might
For it is only when two hearts unite
One man-made, One Eternal and True,
That we can truthfully say…
Nothing in this world is safe and
secure
Except You.
Let us call to mind our
transgressions and have that intent on becoming better Christians daily. Nothing in this world compares to our God yet
we often do not treat Him this way. He
is our Source and End. He is the
Bridgeroom who makes a way for us in this ever-growing evil world. The more we turn to the world the more we
tend to self yet the more we turn to Christ the more charitable we become. Let His Sacred Heart be your guide through
this crisis in the Church. No dark night
can put out the Eternal Fire. Let us
continue to pray for the Pope, prelates, priests, souls in Purgatory and for
poor sinners, Ave Maria!
