To Her Friend She Gently Said

To her friend she gently said:

“Please get this into your head:

Your mind now please expand,

And this point well understand:

God’s not just in some place far

(That’s an old tale most bizarre!).

He’s everywhere, in You as well,

So it is I’ve heard wise folks tell.

Directly with Him you can converse,

So why suppose you must rehearse

That ancient tome that poses to be

His very last word to all humanity,

As if the Lord has turned so weak

That He’s no longer able to speak!

“Sit in silence, then you can hear

Him speak within yourself, my dear,

Through the Inner Voice we possess:

It’s God’s very own voice, no less.

In Nature, too, that’s all around,

God’s ‘words’ to us can be found.

“In this moment to us God speaks,

As one can find if one truly seeks.

When Him directly you can hear,

Why do you that old tome prefer,

Repeating the same words every day?

It’s a most foolish choice, I must say.

What will you gain from this exercise?

A sheer waste of time, please realise!

“God speaking to you now you ignore

For a book written so very long before!

Push that book away, at once please do,

And listen instead to God speaking to you!”
