Heaven's Tears

Dearest Precious Master,
          I Recalled You once said, "Remember me when the rain falls." Well, it's winter here in Perth, and recently it has been raining quite a lot. One night, after meditation, I couldn't sleep and You delivered the following words to me. I'm now returning them to You.

You know everything about me
Though I know so little about You.
Yet it's Your star that surely guides me,
And Your voice that whispers true.

In my silence You're my Music,
And in my desperation You're my hope.
In my darkness You're my spotlight,
And in my drowning You're my lifeboat.

I would climb a hundred Everests,
I would sail a thousand seas,
I would trek through a million valleys,
Just to sit silent at Your feet.

Yet the distance cannot hold You
Because Your love reaches all my pain.
I take comfort in each lonely thought of You, Whenever heaven's tears rain.

Your Eternal servant.
