what can I do?
in a darkroom
with a low shady lamp
trying hard to know where am standing
my eyes getting tired of staring
because nothing could be seen!
I need to leave this room
I needed a brighter place
but the door was tied with a strong rope
so I checked what I've got
oh! I've gotten a knife
what a hope!
but the knife won't cut the rope
it was a blunt knife…
what can I do?
there is no one around
everyone were too busy
fighting their own course.
I looked through the window
if I could get an helper
I saw from afar,they were my friends
I was happy and filled with joy.
at last they would get me out,
while I was still watching them coming close,
some took another path.
not minding,I kept focus on the remaining
but I was wrong!
they had come for another reason
and not to help me.
I’m all alone
what to do?
with a low shady lamp
and a blunt knife?
my lamp needed to be recharge
and my knife to be sharpened
but,what can I do?
I have expected too much
from friends
so I was disappointed.
I sat down not knowing
what to do..
then the voice came
so soft and tender
but I couldn't see anyone
he said to me:
“if you would abide in me
and let the word I would speak
to you abide in you
and meditate on them,
then your needed desires
shall be granted”
who could this man be?
it's rhetorical!
why can't i see him?
i want to know him,
even his voice alone
brought brightness to my room
until I know him well,
I'll always surrender myself
to listen to his words
because
what no one couldn't and wouldn't do
are what he has promised
and willing to do
now I know what to do!!!
