Exalted, grand people of power proud,
Even handed, world leaders, every age,
Righteous, a handful filled with right wisdom.
Yet which one among these could I hope to stand
And converse freely? Fade, fear of judgement!
You are my Wonder Counselor; dare I
Forget? I ready myself to speak Scripture,
There You are, only a few feet away!
Dare I seek an equal, a counterpart
Of earthly origin, to represent me?
Feet feel a hounding heaviness when my
Search fails, finding not one; not One is found!
Men masquerade, fueled by paper currency!
Yet, You are One with me, Best-of-the-Best,
Becoming One with me, and at what cost?
Peace, love: to love Love and to love others;
To pray for those who would persecute you,
Advocating justice, willing their good;
Walk now in my Presence, lighting shadows;
You have found Him Whom there is no higher.
