The Warm Figured Man Poem

Sitting on my own
Feeling quiet & alone
Sometimes makes you sad & upset
Problems and things that you just can't forget
Makes you feel down & pulls you apart
That some day you’ll never find your real heart.

 

But open your eyes and start to see
That really there’s someone who wants to be –
That someone that you need.
 
You feel this urge to go to a place
But to where you don't know – it feels like it's in space
Because of its beauty that can't be found
In a place like this on earthly ground.
 
The next morning you were taken to this place
That was built of silks & beautiful lace,
As soon as you enter the door
It was then that you saw
A person, a shadow, a warm figured man,
That seemed to reach out and touch your hand.
 
You felt this reaction
A means of devotion
This Powerful person,
Gave you all of these emotions,
But you wasn't confused which was very unusual
For you was in a world of beauty and happiness
That took away sorrow and all of your loniness
As you looked at the cross and moved to it slowly
You felt an excitement that was more than Holy.
 
The face you could see was happy and yet not hurt
For the nails that were hammered into his hands
Seemed not to give pain but a warmth that remained
The face you could see was happy and wise
And his head hung low but not his eyes.
His eyes were bright and very strong
And brought forth a light that forever shone.
That lit everyone's life in every way,
And led them to love him every day.
That pulled people through so that they would believe
That he was never gone & never would leave.
 
His fingers were strong and yet very smooth
But didn't stay still but slightly move
His hair was long & hung around his face
That gave this feeling that was special to this place
(Why yet I couldn't see this special mystery)
 
For yet I knelt down on the pillow that lay on the floor
I placed my hands together and asked for so much more
For a feeling I wanted so very much
Tears of joy I had never felt
For this man whose wisdom and love had been placed
So that I and many more would rest our case
To be placed in his hands for evermore
That I really felt sure in what I saw.
 
For there was a light that was in my vision
That really it was now I was in fixation
A feeling that is very hard to explain
Of so much love & joy but yet there was pain
I couldn't believe how I was reacting
My tears wouldn't stop they were overflowing.
But yet I’m not sad – oh I'm definitely not sad
I am just – oh just so very very glad
For soon I must leave as the day is closing
He tells me Don't worry – he soon shall be coming.
 
For why did I hold my hands together
It felt so good I wanted to stay forever
But I know I had to return if only to say
I saw Jesus Christ today.
 
While my hands are together for I am praying
My mouth is moving for I am speaking to him myself
For he is magnificent for yet he does send
Me beauty and love that never does end,
For Faith & love are powerful still
Sins are forgiven and now he has healed,
Not just me but many many people
Who now worship him in this dear temple.
 
Today I had realised a person
That gave me a strong emotion
And really this man he is full of glory
That really holds wisdom in every story.
He is just a man, that cannot be replaced
For himself that he gave to us in his place,
His body that was placed on a cross
Shall never ever be forgot.
For his position had saved all of our lives
For soon shall we meet & never say goodbyes
For he shall be my King
And I – oh I shall sing.
