What do you want of me?

What if it was possible to get
your life long dream
if as magic it came into being
would you believe it to be
or would you question it eternally?

How is it possible for the Sun and Moon
to line up so perfectly
like a total eclipse of the heart
harmony on a molecular level
a living fantasy made into flesh
from the clay of one's mind
formed over a life time
twisted from the third eye
rinsed over the finger tips of Gabriel
into a tropical storm that drowns me
under a sea of God's agape love

I hold my breath for as long as I can
in fear that if I don't
I will swallow more than I can handle
I can feel his blessings descending
like rain droplets that quench my thirst
his forgiveness all around me
swirls me in circles like wind
whipping around mountains
his gifts he constantly gives
boundless he has been with me
and I receive them
with the heart of Thomas
doubting their sincerity

Why can't I believe?

I think as I exhale
taking in an ocean of emotions
my spirit wants to leave my body
as I look up to him for understanding
and ask my burning questions

What is it that you want of me
Why are you being so loving toward me
when we both know....

That I don't deserve it!

This is so true........ The planets are too perfectly aligned for it to be all a coincidence. Hence...I'm not a supporter of the big bang theory. We don't deserve God's gracious gifts. But thank God he loves us enough to sacrifice the love of his life so that we may know him. Beautifully penned, and I'm hopeing it touches some unbelievers.

This hits the the core of who we are..can be and choose to be.. Everything about this ignites my heart, the messages the picture all of it.. thank you..xx

To me this is spiritual, and it questions life's mysteries, and yourself...

We do question why we are tempted, sin, walk away from truth, and then we feel the everlasting love of forgiveness as you speak of. Your write gives me pause to stop and think of how when I am searching for answers, I only have to remember what I already know. The questions are only my spirit trying to find solid ground, and His eternal love!
Well thought out and composed!

We all know we sin. those with deep faith often question why God loves them even though "we" will never measure up. Sometimes we have to let go and accept the gift for what it is and not over think the love that God gives us. We are not perfect as humans and never will be. We all make mistakes and what you have to remember is that lying is the same as adultery not better no worse it is all the same in God's eyes. I have had moments like this that I couldn't understand why God granted me something because i was far from perfect and never would be. Sometimes we have to let go and simply feel God's love and thank Him for it. This poem is very descriptive and explains these deep emotions clearly that give the reader a clarity of what it is like to feel like this. The ending really sums up this piece well on a grand level.
