Eternal Father, holder of the only Truth there is,
Please hold my trembling hands tonight; make finite, my
abyss.
Give me strength, when I am weak, and vision, when I'm
blind.
Restore my faith in your undying love for all mankind.
Take away my fears and tears, and grant me peaceful
dreams,
Where there's no panic, pain, or death; just placid
plants and streams.
When I am forced to focus on this path I cannot trade,
Help me see the footprints there, which those before me
made.
For Life's a spacious room in which I make some memories
With other souls who lend their hands for weaving
tapestries
That cover every wall I see, promoting the belief
That this room's all I'll ever see, and that there's no
relief.
So, help me, God, to know the truth: that just beyond
my room,
There is a walless cosmos where there is no gloom or
doom;
Just endless, timeless, formless love, that welcomes me
to stay,
And instantly transports me to an 'a priori' day.
A day I can't remember now, for there was no time or
space;
No human bonds to help me better recognize a face;
A timeless universe of love, where formless souls
reside,
And wait their turn to share a room, whenever You
decide.
Dear God, I thank you for my life, for all my
'roommates' too;
And if I'm bound to suffer, help me place my trust in
You!
For, while I am still in my room, it's hard to
comprehend
The joy and bliss that waits for me beyond where these
walls end.

Are you in the veins,
or in the spine of this old book?
Did you assert yourself in my brain
or leave me with confusion and despair in my head!
Why do you hide my Lord?
Surely a glorious entry into sunshine would befit a king
In the kingdom of mankind!
And in your silence
To my questions
Are you to my troubles deaf?
What happens to my prayer Lord?
Does it, like some of your seed
Fall on stony ground?
Are you as callous as some say?
Do you terrorise
Into submission. Will I dance
An unnatural tune, with the dead?
(And this is what the Lord says)
Where are you my son?
Here I am Lord.
Go down to the water
And pour a libation over yourself.
Then dress yourself in your best clothes.
Behave suitably and show
A.n.other you care for their time, their trouble.
Be in the world what you would, if you could
Choose in ecstacy.
My perfect friend.
Be ware of the sick, the lame...and
Go out and lead
By your most fervent faith
Lead gentle light
Be glad for the chance,
The inspiration ~ lucky to serve
And when you can say this is all to you.
This life a charm to you,
Kindness disarming you;
Love and forgiveness;
Strength everlasting
Will reach you and flow from you
Into the streams of the know.
I am your God,
You are my child,
And I love you.

"One thing that struck me was the stripping of ego in the work. Most of us have a comfy ego façade, but weakness and disease tore Katherine’s away. The poems in Be Loved Beloved come from the heart."
