Walk On

Joseph to his father in Canaan shall return, don't despair walk on;
and Jacob's hut will brighten with flowers, don't despair walk on.

Aching hearts heal in time, vanished hopes reappear,
the disparate mind will be pacified, don't despair walk on.

As the spring of life grows the newly green meadow,
roses will crown the sweet nightingale's song, don't despair walk on

If the world does not turn to your whims these few days,
cosmic cycles are preparing to change, don't despair walk on.

If desperation whispers you'll never know God,
it's the talk of hidden games in the veil, don't despair walk on.

O heart, when the vast flood slashes life to its roots,
Captain Noah waits to steer you ashore, don't despair walk on.

If you trek as a pilgrim through sands to Kaabeh
with thorns lodged deep in your soul shouting why, don't despair walk on

Though oases hide dangers and your destiny's far,
there's no pathway that goes on forever, don't despair walk on.

My trials and enemies face me on their own,
but mystery always backs up my stand, don't despair walk on.

Hafez, weakened by poverty, alone in the dark,
this night is your pathway into the light, don't despair walk on.

Hafiz

It is difficult sometimes

To walk on

We are in the desert, the waste land

In that dry and barren land

Trudging

Trudging

We look ahead

Looking for some glimpse of a destination

Any destination

But the stark emptiness seems to go on forever

Ah!!!!

But then we remember

The Sacred

And Sacred love

Which flows like a river

A river of life

It is there

Right there

We can touch it, taste it

We can jump in

And splash with abandon

How could we have not seen it?

And we throw our arms wide open

And we cease our struggle

We throw our arms wide open

And we let

The surging power of life

The spring of living water, welling up

We let God

Carry us………

We float

Going wherever the flow of the Spirit takes us
