Prayer
Join me with the soil
forever,
let me in Your shadow be.
And make fear and gladness –
every night -
immaterial to me.
Days pass like a thought,
so quickly.
Every space belongs to You.
Every daily dream of wealth
and fame,
phony silhouettes of gloom.
I’m acquainted with the
side ways –
and misplaced within the
haze.
Lord, You every time found
me
when I was lost:
one last time find me in
this maze.
What I am, is only mercy,
all I have is just on loan,
only praying for Your
waters of rest -
lead me Lord, to their
shalom.
“Gebed “ – is an Afrikaans poem by Koos Du Plessis.
