That there would be a Way

 

Intellectual stops to override weak wills;

Good reasons to seek less of the alluring,

The steady diet of sense pleasures to sate thrills kills

The recollection of Whose we are. fact finding,

Seizing silence, the Invitation, a better Way,

Persuasive, swaying to Someone far greater,

Infinitely more satisfying; let it stay

And ease the grip of the lower animal order.

Seeing what’s visible, the strong lure for the here 

And now, may everlasting life with You not be lost!

To have come all of this way, a shame it would be Dear

God, to fall off the cliff in the end, to have tossed

The highest goods, having been raised in the Host!

Yes, that there would be a Way, oh Holy Ghost!
