Oh Lord, Please Take Me

Oh Lord, Please Take Me


***


Oh Lord, Please love me 

I'm broken, jaded, and lost


Oh Lord, Please take me

Free me from life's sorrow


Oh Lord, Please ignite me

My inner spark burnedout


Oh Lord, Please protect me

I fear the darkness of night 


Oh Lord, Please guide me 

Let me enter the narrow gate 


Oh Lord, Please forgive me 

Sinning in life, I went astray


Oh Lord, Please deliver me 

Lift me from the fires of hell


Oh Lord Please bury me 

Ring the undertaker's bell 


***


Oh Lord, Please save me 

Return this dove home 

Together with your son 

May I live in your love


*** 


Please 

Jesus 

May 

Your 

Love

Bring

Me

Home

To Our 

Fathers 

Mansion 

Above

Psalm 55:6 


I said, “Oh that I had the wings of a dove! 

I would fly away and be at rest.

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

I'm Finally Free…

I'm Finally Free…. 🕊️ I've scattered What did it even matter Looking back now Don't understand How I went down Your highway So fast It was crystal clear It couldn't last Now I'm out back In the shadows With the creepy crawlers Slytherin in the bayou's  Before the sun It shone so bright Now there's only darkness Tell me where is the light At least I can see You're a dead end for me Apart from you at last Thru my suffering I'm finally free 🕊️ David Arndt January 29th, 2023 🕊️ January 31st, 2023 🕊️ Artwork - The Bride and the Wind by Oskar Kokoschka

One Taste, One Kiss……💕…🕊️

One Taste, One Kiss……💕…🕊️ 💋 Ah I've been looking outside myself For things I can only find inside Oh I'm not afraid to say Much of my life has been lost years Living in cage Tying to hide I was trying to survive It was the only way I knew I know I wasn't always honest Know I wasn't true I paid that price long ago Now I'm on the path of the bodhisattva I'm the leader of a tribe I'm your king I'm your prince Your father, brother Sister, mother, lover But we're lovers In pure space of appearances Empty potentiality Where there's no proof, nothing profane All sentient beings in union One taste, one kiss Dance union bliss vast openness Appearances are arising They're empty, Yet they appear One taste, one kiss Awakened ones of all times laugh Laughing with joy  equanimity We abide at rest Oh, one taste oh, one kiss One kiss everything in all All sentient beings kissed in spaciousness I know this kiss true In...
