Close Poem by Aufie Zophy

When I wake up and try to be grateful
for waking up but in my heart
want to go back to sleep,
I just decide not to fight
and close my eyes.

I had thought it great to be grateful
and it perhaps it is truly great
but with my eyes closed
I just want to be close,
close to our God.

When I get a bit closer, a little bit closer,
I can feel the love and peace
coming from outside
but moving in
into my soul.

I pray for my soul, my soul prays for me
I just want to be in tune with love
in tune with peace,
guided by love
guided by peace.

And then I feel the gratefulness welling up
I feel like waking up and be alive
Alive in love, living love
loving and caring
guided by our God.
