“CHASING YOU IN MY DREAMS
written by: Zaki Ansari
@zakiashkim
With this truth, that, you have gone out of my life
that is also true you never left my heart and my mind
always walking with me every step, side by my side
And each moment I feel you beside
You left in my soul dark seams
And every night I’m chasing you in my dreams
Not to blame you. Not questioning you
Neither want to show anger or insulting you
Just to feel your love again one more time
hold me in your hug for a while if it’s last time
let me see your face in moonbeams
And every night I’m chasing you in my dreams
Let’s come sit down together and compose again
Let’s try to write our story this time without pain
There was only last note misplayed in our love song
Otherwise yet after all just to each other, we belong.
I’m getting tired, enough is enough,
leave me bloody pain, let’s come to the end
nothing going to change it clearly seems
So to die in your embrace
Every night I’m chasing you in my dreams
So to die in your embrace
Every night I’m chasing you in my dreams”

“Chastisement leads to the acceptance of God’s will. [. . .]
Chastisement leads to the fellowship of God’s Son. The will of God out of Christ is a law we cannot fulfil. The will of God in Christ is a life that fills us. [. . .]
Chastisement leads to the enjoyment of God’s love. [. . .] Chastening is the school in which the blessed lesson is learnt that the will of God is all Love, and that Holiness is the fire of Love, consuming that it may purify, destroying the dross only that it may assimilate into its own perfect purity all that yields itself to the wondrous change. [. . .]
And faith can only grow by exercise, can only thrive in trial: when visible things fail, its energy is roused to yield itself to be possessed by the Invisible, by the Divine.”
