Okay this is the last one for today I promise. This one comes from one of those long dark teatimes of the soul that hopefully we all go through from time to time.
A PRAYER OF THANKS TO HERN FROM A LOST CHILD
Father
Great Stag
I your Child
Come before YOU
Bereft of YOUR Presence
YOUR Touch
Upon my heart
and spirit
I beg YOU
for Forgiveness
I know
I have transgressed
Disobeyed YOU
and lost my Way
to YOU
Father
I kneel before YOU
Once again
To plead with YOU
Again
Forgive YOUR child
and if it be
THY Will
Show me the Way
from this dark
Dank
Empty waste
that is my life
Without YOU
and YOUR touch
Allow my return
to YOUR side
so that I may strive
to serve YOU
once again
Yet
if this is not YOUR Will
If I am to remain
Lost to YOU
Forever
Alone
Without YOUR Touch
Then I will strive
to remember
the JOY
Passion
and Ecstasy
that I once knew
in serving YOU
and ever will I remember
YOUR LOVE
and the LOVE
That I felt for YOU
Father
I kneel before you
Weeping
Tears of JOY
Filled with the return
of the Rapture
YOUR Presence brings
Once again
YOU have forgiven me
Embraced me
and allowed me to serve you
Once again YOU fill me
Body
Mind
Heart
and Spirit
Once again
YOU fill me up
to overflowing
with YOUR Strength
Wisdom
and Grace
Once again
I kneel before YOU
Swearing to Obey YOU
and to serve YOU
Yet before I can swear
never to stumble
fall or runaway
from YOU again
YOU place YOUR finger
to my lips
Freezing the words
on my tongue
Unspoken
And with but a look
YOU let me know
that these words
YOU do not want
and I know then
that they would be a lie
for be it months
or years away
I will stumble
Again
I will fall
again
That one day
the Fear
will return
and the pain
will grow
and grow
until I can bare it
no more
Then my Mind
and Spirit
will Shatter
and though
it shames me to say
I know
that when that time comes
I will stumble
fall
and run again
And yet I know
that in running
from YOU
I face my demons
Alone
and in the Dark
and that the Monsters
within me
will break loose
from their prison
and together
they will break me
and Rend Body
Mind
and Spirit
to pieces
leaving me
Bloody
and Broken
And yet
each time
I become Lost
to YOU
Each time
I am Broken
Each time
I am Torn Apart
I strip away more
of what holds me back
makes me Afraid
and keeps me
from serving YOU
Completely
And I Know
that if it is YOUR Will
I will return
To YOU
and that YOU
Will reforge me Anew
And that in the breaking
and reforging
I will become
a Stronger
and Better Tool
in YOUR service
Hern
Father
Mighty Hunter
I Pray
that my time
of running
of breaking
and reforging
will end soon
and that I will be rid
of my Fear
Doubt
and Hesitation
So that I may become
YOUR Willing
Obedient
and Faithful Servant
