HELLO

Been living in darkness for so long; out of my soul has gone my song.  The sun has lost its power; my gardens only possession is a dead flower.  Life has no meaning; hollow and empty my heart beats.  When shall I be winning?  When shall my theater see filled seats?

A voice I hear... “Hello” it says.

A woman I see... “Hello” she says...

“Come to me dear man; for today is your day to be loved.  You I will never ban; perpetually I shall remain your beloved.  God has sent me to you; the heavens have opened up their skies of blue.  Visiting you is the touch of purity – visiting you is the embrace of compassion.  Come out from your obscurity; I have come to fulfill your accommodation.”

Her voice I hear... “Hello” she says...

Her song I hear... “Hello” she sings.

Could this be real? 

Am I dreaming again? 

Am I saved from my ordeal? 

Has holiness come to reign? 

Sorrows subside as my eyes watch her approach; horrors take chase as they see her reproach.  Has my saviour arrived?  Will I be filled from what I’ve been deprived?  Fast she comes upon my body; intense is the heat that shines upon my flesh.  An angel she must embody, for wickedness feels her thresh.

“Long have you suffered dear sir; long have you cried.  Your old ways I will transfer; don’t worry – I’ll be your guide.  Please, take my hand; firmly take hold of what is yours.  Your destination is grand; this you’ve waited for scores.  Don’t fret my love, for together we shall sail the skies.  Don’t fear my love, this is not a trick or guise.”

Slowly I watch her eyes.

She stares into my mines.

Reaching out I say... Hello.
