A poem of God's Redeeming Love: Every now and then we find a deep longing in our heart for something more, something beyond us that could give us answers.... Having found faith in God a believer knows that his or her greatest treasure is the presence of God, loosing Him is a believers greatest nightmare. The poem intimately captures the longing of an imperfect Church in a dream-like panorama, standing in fear of loosing the very essence of life. The poem is inspired by the story of the Garden of Eden and the failing relationships in our world.

1.
It started in the dark
Under this sacred tree
Where the moon and the stars spy openly on lovers
The crickets creaked
But they couldn’t deny the beats coming out from our heart
While the skies smiled on us
We laid down counting our lucky shooting-stars
Waiting for what the night-skies had to offer
Time would have become eternity
But our desire couldn’t hold it still
2.
You sighed often
And I wonder what was in your mind?
I had no doubt what was in your heart
I felt the deep love you had within
But your mind was difficult to tell
As I closed my eyes and held you closely
I cried within “Please never leave me”
Then I felt your tender touch
I opened my eyes
But I wondered if you felt me too
All I wanted was to be one with you
Your fingers swam lithely through my hair
And I forgot my past, the hurts and my shame.
3.
I just wanted to stay in your arms forever...
I put down my head on your laps…dreaming
Dreaming that one day nothing will bewall our desire
Dreaming that one day I would be your pillow
And you will be my resting place
If I lose you, I was afraid I was going to lose my mind…

Then I woke up.
It was morning, but my heart was mourning
I thought joy usually comes at dawn?
Where are you? I called.
You promised you will never leave me…
My hands trembled
My veins felt like rupturing
I have never been dead before,
But your absence was more like it
Is this real?
Why?
Why?
What did I do wrong?
Was I dreaming?
Did I dream you away?
Did I say something wrong?
Did I paint my feelings?
5.
I had tearful waiting nights
And I hated time for its mockery
I wished for death-
Maybe it is less painful than life
Love birds and songs reminded me of you
But they brought me nothingness
I cried myself to sleep…
6.
Then I woke up in your arms…
Your emerald eyes looking straight into my soul
And your comely face left me in ghostly thought.
Now,
If this is a dream
I don’t want to wake up
Cos’ under this sacred tree
I saw what life would be without you
May I never sleep away, if this is the reality my heart lingered to see.
