The once fearful heart is no more so, That fearful heart is now conscious- Of the Unfathomable You. Now that it broke free from worldly fear- The shake heartfelt, is no more of fear. The heart is now at ease, Feeling the Ever-Presence of You, The Caring You! The Merciful You!
Here.. Right here.. The still begins to shake-
The fragile being inside seems to tremble,
A shiver of resurrection rather than of anxiousness.
The once fearful heart is no more so,
That fearful heart is now conscious-
Of the Unfathomable You.
And of the World;
Is aware of its true proportions.
The heart is now at ease,
Feeling the Ever-Presence of You,
The Caring You!
The Merciful You!
It asked and You have answered.
That You bound it with your Power,
So it may fear nobody but You.
To shroud it with Your benevolence-
So it may depend not on equally needy humans.
O Lord, what’s mercy but that of You.
What’s Love, but that imbibed by faith in You.
You cleansed this once ailing Heart of dread,
And it now saves every shake for fear of You.
You wiped off the sad tears.
And now they flow only for the sake of You.
Love of You.
Fear of You.
Need for You.
And surely longing for You.
All that was all from You.. and by You.
The heart that was once incubated by fear.
Is set free- feeling the fear of You-
Enjoying the fear of You.
Now that it broke free from worldly fear,
The shake heartfelt, is no more of fear,
The shake the heart once felt.. is signaling:
Resurgence!
The Heart; now pure-
Fears only you.
The heart filled with fear of You;
Is grateful for being Liberated..
Now resurrecting;
Into a BraveHeart!
