POEM: Doubt No More



POEM: Doubt No More
By: Eric Gajewski
From the work, Fortress of the Soul”
Please enjoy the latest poem from the work, Fortress of the Soul".  Glory be to God Who is our Everything and gives all things....

Press play and listen as you read the poem

Matthew 14: 31 “And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?"

To enjoy this life?
Or prepare for the next…
To climb the “hill of self” via human praise
Or descend into the Valley of the humbly blessed…
To the thoughts of tomorrow
I cast you deep into the ocean within “Love’s net”
For it is Thy Love which holds together this awful wretch
For where “self’s” anticipation would arise
Thy Steps have already maintained and kept
Your Love paves the Way
Crosses and grace,
Your Eyes alone brighten the day
For the humble one will expect the storm to come
And at the same time, for Him, patiently await
For the Rays of the Son do not shine down upon everyone
Here, beneath, the elect, gather to pray
Yet how often have you hid Thyself from me!
How can it be?
That we be in the same room yet I unable to see Thee?
For the violent winds, up above, upon the senses
Seemingly, could not affect this calm and peace
Deep within my soul which I shall call “the sea”
O’ beneath thy bloody Feet
When two hearts elope
An eagles wings close in Faith and Hope
Wilst what remains is His eyes wide of Charity
For he has heaven within, having left behind the “me” for “we”
Yet in tribulation, so it seems, the Beloved tests by Way of “hiding”
As man cruelly cries for the “curtain to be drawn”
The rain pours down on souls playing Repentance’s Song
For it is only Thy Love which endures all weather
Whether or not the Storm is strong
For He is here but where is your heart?
As it drifts aimlessly upon life’s surface, you ask…
Where did I “veer off course” and go wrong?
O’ forgive us poor sinners
For the tears of men become the only waters in which is lived
Yet with One Word spoken the Storm can cease
The Clouds can lose form and the blue blanket above can once again can keep us warm
For it is not in what I can take but only in that which YOU can give
And thus the Cross is where my heart must cross
Exchanging “loss” for life’s new lease
Exchanging “my needs” for His Will
For if you listen closely Love loudly above repeats
It is I, Who Am and it is I Who hast the Highest Seat
And continuing on….
Who do you think created the Storm?
Who do you think provides the sun’s heat?
For every man truly needs His God
Just as every eagle needs the Wind
As I hear the Voice of the Ageless One once again speak
The rainbow is sent only to reassure
The Storm was nothing but My Sacred Heart’s lure
For All things now are restored, you are in the Palms of My Love
You are safe and secure, doubt no more…
