Knowing Poem by Dr. Lalita Smith

</></></>You come now and rest upon me at times
An unbelievable Presence I find hard to describe.
Truly remarkable it is to me to know Your thoughts -
Your desires towards this 'Bride in waiting' -

Your words always telepathically communicated in a
gentle and precious 'knowing' relaxes all anxiety,
releases all hurts and dissolves countless disappointments.

Sitting under your holy cloud is like reclining in a
warm bath filled with fragrant Rose petals which
soothe my skin and soul -

Knowing I can vent my anguish and disappointments in
my dealings with others before You unreservedly,
relieves me beyond what I can communicate.

Knowing that You know and understand me and the
rejections I face and the slaps in the face I endure
causes me to feel for You

Surely they treated You worse while
believing in their wicked hearts
that they were the righteous ones

How dare they spurn the truly Just One -
You - the Christ -
my Comforter, my Friend.
