Whom I Call Lord

Whom I call Lord, is gracious, merciful, compassionate –
demanding of me but this, imbuing me with the same:
toward myself, toward others, toward all.

Whom I call Lord calls none by the name infidel, nor unbeliever, nor apostate –
only: My child. Demands no shunning nor enmity toward anyone, nor murder.
Rewards simplicity and love with more love, and inspiration to serve and to remember.

Whom I call Lord moves me to take a position or to leave it, but consciously;
and if it is an unpopular position which calls for confrontation, to take it and trust;
to follow my heart's prompting in movement or repose, even should it merit conflict.

Whom I call Lord will preserve my sincerity, restore my dignity, increase my faith,
and make me fearless, provided I hold and cherish these in my heart, on every breath.
Assures me of sovereignty over myself, and over none other.

Whom I call Lord is enormous beyond measure, fabulous beyond words,
wondrous in beauty and in wisdom, Source of my existence, my ever-present destiny;
subtle as my kitty's whisker or a baby's cooing whisper.
