Getting a Mind Awake to Sleep
by TJ Nickel If not my past Than what am I Am I not my sins? If not my past Can't be my future Funny how time bends Backwards, repentance Can wash away My every sin from sight Forwards, prayer Can take away From Possibility's might Past am not Nor future either Lord, just what am I? Present has no Action in it Disappeared have I! Matter not But matters much Enlightened as a Berkeley Matter gone But I am not Present cuts time sharply A soul am I If body not Real, but a projection Like time's Past and future Am I split into two sections? Soul, idea Invisible To become becomes matter If matter not And soul idea Something makes them chatter Spirit, alas The hidden, hidden Idea to matter relater Just as Present Is in time The true me; a creator Of ideas And their matter The past and also future Soul and Body Woven into self With Spirit as their suture Whether "to be Or not to be" 'Tis becoming that's essential Myself and me The I to be Is something existential I as man Made in His image Triune three in, and yet, one Father, Son And Holy Ghost Holy Trinity, God, likewise spun Soul and Body Matters matter Behold Idea as Become Holy Ghost As Spirit binds The two, now three, in One Where we see Soul manifested There we call Him Son Idea is Father Invisible But so, He is two not one Thus the Ghost To bind them so More invisible than the wind Here God's self Proclaimed I AM The Beginning and The End He is Spirit As am I Yet He is Someone more Me as Spirit His triune Idea From Love's unceasing pour In His image This dear self Of I, to be or not His Idea Grounded such God, forget me not! Have found myself By finding Thee In matters existential Idea of Thine My Spirit thus Is bound, and Providential My Spirit's Master A title I Am undeserving of Spent from travels In these thoughts Let me rest now in Thy Love Sleep, I beg thee Take me hold Don't let me be unfurled With further thoughts Of Ideas to Matter And the creation of the world Matter matters 'Tis from Soul The world created thus Of dust made Man from world In it, and It, Jesus Us in Him He in the Father He spoke this in a verse Esoteric Pantheistic Maybe something worse Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Thy Personage is too deep Thank Thee For this revelation As I lay me down to sleep. ********** TJ Nickel is a Christian husband, father, student, and freelance writer striving to dive deep into the human condition and point to Christ.
