Divine Love Poetry

The Door Held Tight

Father, open my soul

So closed has it been and uncared for,

More a black hole than a Light whole

A heavy door stands there, wearing a rusted lock

And barricades my heart against Your Light,

Feels impenetrable to Your Love

Father, You can pry open that unused door

Please make it so

I have tried so very hard to do it right

But it doesn’t seem to want to move

Is it the quantity or quality of my Faith that keeps it tight?

Is doubt a shield against Your Love?

Is there a toll on the Path Divine?

Meet me halfway, Father, with Your Love

And I’ll bring with me a mustard seed

Through which You’ll open up my soul

Because it’s harmony with You I want and need,

And conversation,

And the Love flowing to and fro.

Bless me, Father, with this gift of Yours

From Your Holy Spirit let this flow

Bless me with Your gift Divine

This Love of Yours, this Love of mine.

 

It is not My lock upon your door, says He

and I haven’t any key.

If you want a thing enough

You can always find a way

If you want the door to open

You can do it on this day.

Express that desire

by praying every day

For unless you’re on the Path Divine

the way you’ll go is clear

Doors will barricade you and halt you in your tracks

My Love is here for all of you

But can’t be had for free

The toll’s price is high indeed

The cost much more than a seed

The price is persistent longing and desire

For Divine Love to be yours

You must want Me in your life

Must BE Me in your life

But the reward you’ll find is Heaven,

happiness

and eternal delight.

I’m here to give

You’re there to get

It’s on you now

your heart to set.

Ask, ask and ask some more

And Light and Love will break the door.
