Be ye certain <br />That your sleeping shells <br />Become not caskets for the soul, <br />Nor, your temporal dreams, <br />The graves in which you rest. <br /> <br />Instead… <br /> <br />Wake thyself and greet the Noble Morning; <br />The Glory that is the Son, <br />Then, kneel at dusk to bid Him <br />Short Farewell. <br /> <br />Open thy heart, that He may enliven thy mind, <br />And also, that you no longer be fools in the sight of Him, <br />Or, that the waters of your work <br />Be lukewarm so that He speweth you forth. <br /> <br />Nay… <br /> <br />Be ye steadfast like unto a rock, <br />So that ye not slumber in His sight, <br />And, be awake O servant, <br />To welcome home His Majesty; <br /> <br />The King, The Light. <br /> <br />5-5-06<br /><br />~~~ Leaven ~~~<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-ye-servants-of-the-king/
