Poem, ‘The Drifting Arks of the Hearts of Men”

By: Eric Gajewski
From the work, “Fortress of the Soul”
This is the latest poem from the work “Fortress of the Soul”. I hope you enjoy it and share it. Long live Christ our King.
 
Please play the video below and listen as you read the poem
 

Uponst thy warm summer shores, I once knewest Thee
 
Thine Divine Face ever so clear
 
Beating in reflection uponst thy Waters
 
But it wast in the Writing, that I wouldst leave
 
Having headed for my own ark, I didst part
 
Drifting along aimlessly, thinking to be “free”
 
By self’s haughty way of “liberty”
 
In great irony I wast held captive in prison
 
On my own ark called Tyranny
 
Finding no rest, so far from thy Sacred Heart
 
I sawest the Storms of sin further creeping
 
I wast thence pulled out more deeply by my own fault
 
This tendency of nature sought to pull me under completely, so overpowering
 
Now thirsting and without sail I turnest to thy shores yet again
 
Pleading Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! I didst cry
 
With tears withheld which only added to my misery
 
Until Thy hidden Love arose silently so as to guide me
 
In the gentle flow below of Thy unseen Tide
 
Which straightened out my path back unto Thee interiorly
 
For where Ye art my heart wast designed alone to be
 
Now safely following thy Will’s Footprints
 
Along this shore I call home with Mary, this Sea Galilee
 
With goal alone to please and see my Beloved smiling
 
Alas! Two hearts mystically united so perfectly
 
How silly! For these chambers within could not beat, there would be no stability
 
This heart of mine without Thee wouldst only vainly bleed
 
But whilst we resist, whilst we still wage war with thy Will
 
Thou wouldst, on the contrary, in Charity, only seekest to fill
 
For how often we fight so ignorantly against our hearts only Source and End
 
O’ Lord, how foolish we art!
 
In this scene which I see perpetually and which now my mind is painting
 
Called the drifting Arks of the hearts of men…

 

 ‘If you desire heaven, you must walk in the way which leads to heaven; if you should walk in the way which leads to hell, you will one day unhappily find yourself there.’
St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori
 
‘Now although man is created for the possession of happiness, yet, having deviated from his true end, his nature has become deformed and is entirely repugnant to true beatitude. And on this account we are forced to submit to God this depraved nature of ours which fills our understanding with so many occupations, and causes us to deviate from the true path, in order that he may entirely consume it until nothing remains there but himself; otherwise the soul could never attain stability nor repose, for she was created for no other end.’

St. Catherine of Genoa
