“Dear Beloved Who Woke Crying (If you would but pause…)” by Hannah Logan

Dear Beloved,

who woke crying…

believing horrible things about Me…

lying to your sweet self,

forgetting I Am is Thee….

and thinking life is only darkness now…

blind to your light and unable to recall how

I delight in you…

so grateful you agreed to come here, too.

Oh, Precious One, who is so seemingly certain of my abandonment,

can you not remember, if you give yourself a minute,

a pause or two,

or the tiniest of breaths,

through sobs and wretching…

how much I love you?

Can you not hear,

twixt each gnashing of your teeth…

my Voice whispering,

still so deep within you?

Can you not see The Light burning

in you, as Me, shining clear

to assuage your hurting?

Please, My Dearest One, do take a moment

to surrender what you feel is true…

then tis certain will come to you

that times before

I’ve revealed Your Self

when, so sure,

you thought all good was shelved

and dreams’ doors

closed, twas then

you said, “I’ll ne’er again forget

with such evidence empirical

that closely following ‘not yet’

is, ‘I AM, a miracle.’”
