Lifeline

Lend an ear, friend

Lean in close while I whisper

Rest, be still and listen

I know you are weary

I know you are frightened

It is real

You have not imagined it

A fearful specter looms

Arising unforeseen by many

Obliterating your pretty paradigms

I know, I know

But there is an answer

There is a place of hope

There is someone you can trust

A million stars wink at you

Whence did they come?

Forget your books

Cast off high notions of 'learning'

Hush the voice of your 'culture'

Be still and listen

You know, you know

There is a voice speaking Truth

Up from below and behind your navel

Still small and quiet and pure

Someone made all this!

Someone made you!

You know it, you KNOW it!

Humble yourself and speak to him

Come as you are

Ugly attitude if need be but acknowledge him

Ask for help, friend

He loves you

There is hope, friend

There is a Creator and Savior
