      Love Letters

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Christian Confessions - Antoinette Cole

      FAITH

      To climb mountains: Take us to

      the highest peak, give a ladder

      and we will go climb the tallest

      tree to the depth of his clouds,

      for they are our guide.

      Put thy on the Atlantic Ocean to

      her very beginning where all

      nature swims. We will go to the

      end of the current with no

      ropes of boats clinging on thee.

      Let’s go to nursing homes, and

      hospitals where all are ill may

      be dying, , and on death’s door.

      Given them the healing words

      saying, all will turn out well.

      Let’s take hold of his garment and

      take us to travels in unfamiliar

      places; no home or family by thy

      way-side, for it is his guidance

      we shall trust on the way.

      AGAPE

      Unconditional love with no

      Strings attached; arms stretched

      Wide as open skies. I turned away

      To my own desires, and you met

      Me at the other end.

      Shape me in the hand of potter’s

      Clay; smooth out the muck from

      My wicked eyes; cleanse my

      Heart of oil to soft soil.

      My every dangerous way of

      Thinking thy transformed

      To a new religion. In sinking

      Sand I was dying; my head

      Lay crying.

      A wind comes across my face,

      A memory I will never ever

      Erase. For I ran to him in a

      Faster pace, holding on to his

      Agape grace.

      MOTHER’S PRAYER

      In my womb you were formed, conceived in

      This world of envy and violence. My

      Constant prayer is that each breath you inhale

      Won’t be the last. The strolls you take will go

      Through a narrow path and hoping the end

      Steps you make won’t be the last.

      Staying on my knees with prayer asking

      God to protect you when you are not in

      My presence, provide the needed shelter for

      You when you have left home, and be your

      Breastplate when I am not around.

      When you have grown up, all I can do is

      Remember how you fell and you gave
