Come Away With Me, Beloved
by Darlene Casino Come away with Me, beloved To a place of innermost peace- There we can enjoy a visit And your many strivings will cease. You days are very conflicted; Your stress is at an all-time high. You have felt the pain of others, Whose lives and plans have gone awry. The 'Enemy' is upon you Taunting, and planting his deadly seeds- Causing you to raise the question, "Does God really know all my needs?" You have sat before an alter An idol, or a 'seers' ball, Gazing at this world for hours That is continuing to 'fall'. You have listened to the empty words Of those people who know not Me Of broadcasters filled with darkness, They're blind and they never will see. All your peace you thus did forfeit And your joy was in line to go, Though loved by the almighty God You've sacrificed your inner glow. Come away with Me, beloved And while we quietly converse- You'll tune out the endless prattle, The sounds of your loud universe. You must cease your useless motion The endless wringing of your hands; Of chasing after happiness And meaning from your feeble plans. I have things that I must show you And some songs you need to hear, My words found in your Bible That will take away all your fear. There are fragrances of sweetness And perceptions for you to sense, Many strokes of loving-kindness Which will be found in My Presence. Child, withdraw from all your turmoil It's for Me to give you rest. Try walking with Me in silence And see that I offer what's best. Let My tender love enfold you Remember My words that you've read; Yes, truly I am in control Now, calmly ponder all I've said. I am a freelance writer and a retired nurse.
