Awakened senses

The tiny particles of sound

carries His voice to my ear,

assures me He is to be found

by all who wishes to come near.

The tiniest spark of brilliant light

proves Him present in the dark,

turns my blindness into sight

just as with the miracles of Mark.

I smell the sweetness of the night,

sweet aromas, awakening my senses,

and all that had me scared with fright

crumbles before His eternal defences.

I open my mouth wide and eager

to partake of your honeyed Word -

the world’s wisdom seem meagre

against the sharp edge of your Sword.

Then a soft breeze tousles with my hair

soothing my skin as it runs across

carrying Your gentleness upon the air

affirming You are gain, and all else loss.
