A DIALOGUE WITH MY MAKER

In the midst of night I lie, awake,

Unable to share what comes to my mind,

In the midst of all these thoughts You come,

With elation does ecstasy come.



You say You are always by my side,

Nearer to me than my jugular vein,

Tell me then the untold truth,

Tell me how one in heaven abides.



You say You made me in the best of moulds,

Then, reduced me to the lowest low,

You say You are the Creator Best,

That You are Unique from all the rest.



You say everything has been destined,

What for then is my daily grind,

What is this promise of heaven and hell,

Why do You speak from a hiding blind?



The perfect man You sent for us,

To save us from your Hell's abyss,

You say You are Most Merciful,

Then why not give me rest and peace?

I raised my fist to cloud in mortal scream all life parched and died beneath the sun No mercy but a single blinding stream darkness where question echoes undone
