Lamplight By Gio Masserati Poem by Gio Masserati

Lamplight

Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
then why do I not read it more?

my rebellion keeps me in the dark
I search for you and search for you
and say you are not there
but ask me to read 'the living word'
and eyes go blank with empty stare

I call out, 'Father, I Need You! '
and crickets fill my heart
I waste my days with sorry sulks
feeling lonely and set apart

I scream I kick I throw a tantrum
reduce myself to childlike ways
when all in all
it's You I crave

why won't you answer me?
what knee must I bend?
I thought you said you'd be with me
You promised to be my friend
to the end

all the crying tears keep flowing
amidst the echoes knowing knowing
I cry out louder one last time
the 'book' it opens heaven's rhyme

I know now what I must do
for me and for you
stay steady and be real
patiently awaiting
to find my God's Love

the answers to questions that I seek
continually runneth over
strengthening the humble and the meek
that is me! yet, accessible to all
I say with heart laid bare
I've found you Love
you were always there

now here to stay I must confess
I never loved you less than less
but now I see you here with me
my joy complete
you care for me
