I wish I were you

(This is based on the song by declan galbraith, an angel. You can view it on yahoo, etc.)

I wish I were you,
in your wheelchair,
then I would have had to learn to be love to all,
all from the start,
because I might need you to reach in the stars for me.

I wish I were you,
mentally retarded,
sometimes you cannot help
but to be be nice
and happy.
Good for you,
too retarded to know there's
a perceived problem.

I wish I were you,
guilty of various misdeeds,
horrible in your mind,
but then you see God when you leave us here,
and you know the extremities, the degrees, of God's forgiveness.
360 degrees.
Circles within universes.

I wish I were all of you
everyone you will ever know,
everyone who will ever disappoint you,
so I could forgive them.

I wish I could take all the hurts
this world has had to offer
and put them on myself
and lighten your loads.
All the wars, all the bickerings.
Maybe I could handle it...
Could you help me?

I wish I could bring
the promised heaven to earth.
Yes in my mind it can be,
But I wish then were now.
Perhaps if I were on speed,
a different kind, I could wind forward,
and be time itself.
Then I could offer it to you.

I wish I were mike and berit and gloria
and all there is
and all there ever will be.
Better to see the various facets of the Divine.
Hoo-hah.

I wish I were God in the sense of which I speak
and bring you to yourself
mend yourself,
make you the wholeness of the whole.

I wish I could be the most evil person on earth,
then saved by the bell which Christ rings,
and know more of the thankfulness of
being forgiven, just for listening to the bell.
I wish I could be a choir
ringing all their bells,
one for each perceived sin
and every time a bell rung,
someone would be forgiven,
someone would be forgiven.

I wish I could be the music of the bell,
"evangelize" without saying silly things
which don't matter,
which don't touch the spirit,
which don't rock your boat for you.

I wish I could "evangelize"
Be every angel's eyes,
every angel's eyes,
and look into you,
and know just what to say.
Without being a preacher preaching,
just being you for a moment.

I wish I were more infirm,
so that perhaps God could heal me,
and I could tell you
without sounding like a nut.

I wish I could erase my past,
have you there instead.

I wish I were an angel,
maybe I'd break the rules a bit
and shout out
"GOD LOVES YOU"
this time so everyone can hear.
Because being silent
can be a little difficult.

I wish I were on drugs,
hallucinate peacefully,
and then find out the beautiful scenes
were all real,
heavenly,
and it wasn't a sin
because God gave me the drug,
I just had forgotten it.
And God let me
give you the drug.
Maybe it would be angel dust,
the real kind.
No vaccuum needed.

I wish I could be a homosexual
you can be so sweet sometimes.
Sweetness like a honeycomb,
honey come home,
says God,
come back home.

(Declan also has another song, "angel (live on red rose day)" on google)

Wish I could be declan. Bye loves

Mark, dear angel... I wish

Mark, dear angel...

I wish my love could reach you right now,
I wish you really could feel it in your heart and being,
I wish you could be wrapped up and inundated by this love
and know never ending joy

how I love "I wish I were you" !

I wish I could take all the hurts
this world has had to offer
and put them on myself
and lighten your loads.
All the wars, all the bickerings.
Maybe I could handle it...
Could you help me? we're doing this journey together, never forget this!

I wish I could bring
the promised heaven to earth. you already do it dear Mark, with every posting and breath you take!

I wish I could erase my past,
have you there instead. I wish you could love your past instead for it made you the angel you are
now !

I really wish all the silent words I don't say reach your heart, thanks dear angel for being here just now!!
I did look up Declan on the web but here in my office "big brother Bosch" doesn't give me any access.
I could just see a few things in wikipedia. I will make some downloads at home. Thanks ever so much for this posting, I would have known of Declan otherwise I think (I just live a bit out of the world... :-))

Love and blessings dear angel !!
Berit

Hey, Berit glad to see you

Hey, Berit glad to see you again. The poem is all just about forgiveness, when it's truly accepted, it trumps everything else. So see past the literality when it is better to see past it. You decide when it's better. Luv, markw

Mark...you are an amazing

Mark...you are an amazing talent...i'm really, really quite impressed with your depth of heart and ability to express...in such ways that would make the sun stand in awe of your day...keep em coming...when u want...if u want...and we'll all be better off 'cause of...Your Way...much love Brother...mike

Marvelous! Perfect.

Marvelous! Perfect. Unforgettable. Bravo.

Oh, Mike, gees, the sun just

Oh, Mike, gees, the sun just laughs at my day and wonders how a screw-up like me can do anything but say goo-goo!

I was kind of wondering if the poem was completely understood by our wonderful Daisy-by-the-sea? Since she wrote "God's Love" after this one of mine, I thought it might be a response, so, let's you and me and everyone try to write something with me that will clear things up for everyone. Maybe there's a few angels scratching their heads, saying "what's this all about?"

Course I don't really want to be the most evil person on earth...But in the environs of my mental field there is this "good cop", "bad cop" routine. And B.C. (bad cop, also before christ) says, look poet-boy, you did such and such again. And G.C. (good cop, also God Can Overlook Everything) says I'm blind, I became blind to identify with those who have no sight on earth. So God says, I didn't see it, and furthermore, I am not omnipotent enough to see it because my free will overpowers my omnipotence. And my free will is blind to such things.

But I tend to need more than just God forgives, God overlooks. Because the BC doesn't yet realize he's been retired. So I need to exaggerate to myself, and say look, BC, even if I did the worst even unimaginable misdeed, God would blind Himself if I just said, Lord, use that heavenly eraser again and wash me in the towers of peace.

Jesus once said, "he who has been forgiven much loves much...". So what I would like is the thankfulness of one who has been forgiven much, just without having to do the misdeeds that would lead to the thankfulness once forgiven. But I also want to identify on the God-level with the worst of our kind, see?

The same with the drug user. What are they seeking but the bliss we seek, only in a manner which does not lead to true bliss? So they use angel dust, and as Maria says, we administer to ourselves angel powder. Their dust needs the vacuum because it is physical.
Our powder is recommended by all the leading heavenly experts, because it leaves no residue, except in the spirit. Our powder is best. I wish I could go to the street corners and the drug houses and buy our superior product, and give it free of charge. No arrests, no bad cops, only eternal rest which never stops.

Oh, the homosexual. See, God just looks at the good which could come from him/her. In the same way that I see God to wash my inner castle, I just walk by people, and see God to secretly enter in their castle by day, and be the security guard. Keep the bad thoughts out. Honey, come home! We need you, it's getting dark out!

Do I really want to be more infirm? Well, I'll let you decide. But remember the love of the parent toward the ill toddler, and how they would say, I wish it could be me rather than she who suffers? Actually I'm a little too small to think like this yet, I'm always, God, help, got an owie. Call emergency angels out, Dr. Gabriel, are you busy?

Anyway check out the "an angel" song if you can. Love from the Mountain of God's Rest.

hey Mark...blessings in your

hey Mark...blessings in your nights and days...a question and a comment....sometimes i'm not too quick on the uptake...a little slow u know...do u have a physical ailment of some sort or is it like us all that are working w emotion issues as such?...actually the reason Jeshua could heal as such was the Realization that all physical disease comes from feeling dis-ease...now the comment...i've found that a most wonderful way, instead of guarding per se our thoughts or mind, is "Just" observing our thoughts and then saying "does this serve my greater good" or "that's an interesting cloud"...no opinions...no judgements...just as the person sitting on the river bank watching the flow...we can do this in quiet time or hectic time...moving or standing still...i find it quite peaceful and empowering and not so tiring as having to stand guard and all that...namaste...mike

p.s. we all have the GC/BC scenario...but it's temporal and knowing this may speed up the process as well :)

Hi Mike, I also made you

Hi Mike,
I also made you president for a day, I didn't want to overload you so I just made it temporary. Being God and being president is quite a responsibility, so I wanted to make sure it would work out in your favor, and not be too much.
Well, what can I say about disease? I do and I don't. Do you know what I mean? If you just observe it, it just is what it is. It's not bad or good, it just is.
As far as dis-ease goes, yikes, I've had to dis-engage myself from a lot of it. See, God knew I would have a bit of a rough time with my various dis's, so He gave me a little extra help with wisdom in spiritual things to get me through. He balances the supposed bad with the good. That's why I read some things I write and go, gees, Lord, I never thought of that before. I just look at the pen and go "how did you do that..."
I've gotten a lot out of some of the Eastern thinking. You know, the 3 wise men came from the east. They knew what was going on before most everyone else. I think they knew something about spiritual astrology, which is figuring out what God is going to do through looking at His creation. Adios, wise man.
markw

nice to hear from ya,

nice to hear from ya, Mark...it's always a pleasure...i'm probably more comfortable being the president's janitor but if i could do it for a day just to get things moving in the appropriate way then why not...otherwise, u get it the other days...either way...have a great day...i'm out...feelin the need to laugh...think i'll rent "old school" or "wedding crashers" or something like that...peace brotha...mike
