Helpless, I am


As it dawns, the whining begins.. 
"Helpless I am, And You don't seem to care! 
How much I trust, and  love.. heed, will You?"

I await a response, in all vain 
He never will say a word, I thought. 
He put me to dust, I was convinced. 

I wasn't to stop, I rambled on..
"You ask me to trust, You never had a promise to keep. 
I feel a fool, I never was Yours."

And then I heard it, sobs. 
My shoulders grew moist - I looked up... 
He stood there in pure white, tears ready for drip. 

His tears can't be answers to me! 
I cared lesser for why He was sad, 
I was hurt and He had to answer, I boasted... 

From all silence, He said, 
"I am helpless, My boy". Another tear dropped.
In all the sorrow, His light shone like all Suns! 

Terrified I was, I caused His tear? 
I dared, "But why are You helpless?"
He saw me, just once. I shook, in true sense.  

"Well, not to hurt, I am cos you make me thus, 
I heed, I speak, I care and I love, 
Who put who to dust?" 

"You heed and speak?" I fumbled. 
"Well, I haven't heard! In all years I am aware
You heard me once, and that is this day."

"Do you seek to listen? 
Do you long to see My light? 
And do you let Me hold your hand?" He simply said. 

So much I wanted to nod yes,
It ached... Deep within. I slipped....
But never fell for His loving hands craned along. 

The warmth, the light were nothing seen as yet
Hoisted back, "But I love You, don't I?"
And I prayed within, "I beg of You, don't say 'no' "

He smiled, "So you claim. 
So your people say. So it is perceived. 
And all of it cannot mean loving Me!" 

"Loving is far beyond an "act" 
A way of life, in word, deed and thought. 
You choose just to act, well you may!"

"In love, there is no blame, 
No sorrow, no fear, no want. 
Only trust, care, joy and peace."

"Never do I let you fall, 
For once, you know this day - I hold you. 
I heed, I reply, I care and I love you"

"Love as you must, Never can you be dust. 
Ever loved and ever Mine - in dawn and in dusk. 
For what love can, nothing else can." 

"Take care, My boy. Helpless I am" He smiled again. 

Tears, as downpour, this time - mine.
