A Call to the Master

A poem about God inspired by Ancient Greek Wisdom

I’m hiding behind transient simplicity

Searching for ways to find tranquility

To get to God’s land of serene symmetry

To reach the final milestone of harmony

 

Please don’t call on me when it’s light

Wait for the little hours of the long night

When the dawn makes my aura so bright

Bringing me divine energy and might

 

For then I will be the fearless knight

Kind, loveable, enviable and upright

Clad with humility and peaceful arms

Preaching the Lord’s powerful charms

 

His words make me the sweet little boy

So kind, good and full of spiritual joy

With no great fuss and bouts of worry

Singing lovely hymns to His eternal glory

 

Oh! Lord, my one and only Master

My creator and benevolent Father

To You I utter in silent perpetuity

The true echoes of my human trinity

 

Oh! God, to your altar I always offer

My thoughts of love in every prayer

To You I call and request continuously

To absolute my soul from materialistic captivity

 

Always remembering two wise ancient Greek sayings:

‘God humbles the arrogant and elevates the humble’ by Diogenes Laertius; and

‘Divinity is beauty, wisdom, goodness and everything that is the same with these’

by Plato.
