Let Me Be
Ugonna Wachuku
Let me be gone
now ... Silence!
Silence of the
grave ...
Life on this
enchanting
earth home!
Humankind with
heartless homes:
Fading moments of my
awakening...
I walk through unknown
pathways and river banks.
The mind in me is still;
yet wandering through
uncharted landscapes
and meadow sea shores.
This new day, I stare into
clouds, hoping, wishing,
wondering if you'll let me be.
At night, I watch your stars
and moon; waiting, hoping.
Fading moments of my
awakening...
My journey has been a long
one. I have waited so long
in those eyes of human
recokoning.
I, really, keep wondering
whether you'll let me be.
Fading moments of my
yawning awakening...
My soul is heavy ladden.
My spirit reaches out;
searching to find some
meaning to this desolation
on flourishing farmlands
of abundance and beauty.
Will you finally let me be who
or what I am meant to be?
Because, now, this day, there
is joyful pain in my soul.
Will I be? Will I be?
Good Lord, I am still
waiting on you; while
still striving, asking,
seeking, knocking on
heaven's door of your
deeply compassionate
heart. I am, hopefully,
still waiting: "do not
pass me by!"
Let me not be weary.
Let me soar and mount
on wonderful wings as
your eagle of my essence.
Just let me be who I am
created to be, abidingly:
I humbly plead!
Humankind with
heartless homes:
Fading moments of my
yawning awakening...
My soul is heavy ladden.
"Do not pass me by."
Give me your
mustard seed
faith. Let me
not be weary.
Let me go
home now
into your
goodness
for there
is

These words, as if from a waking dream, call out to the soul as they
call out to God...
Yes this...
that thou hast called me to do and be... Let me be!
Peace my Brother and God's love ~~~ Dougie ~
