failing to speak of You
'out of love only'
make the lips mute...
*******
not to worship You
'born of love only'
make the mind sterile...
the upshot - dreadfully dire...
reprove, reprove...
the unrepentant talker
the shameless liar...
*******
failing to rebuke
'out of love only'
the uncontrite sinner -
inner mind, wean the thoughts
from evolving
into a single-hearted winner...
reprove, reprove...
'lover' unpromising
cowardly mind, unheroic heart
(Oh, another sacred chance missing!)
*******
to waste lapse of time
scribbling of unfamiliar matters
make the pen impotent
reprove, reprove...
the naive, unthinking scribbler
for others' time can be more potent...
*******
stay stone-still:
when in cavernous, echoing nil;
unconfessing - loss of innocence
profane, hardened heart
harebrained schemes
brazen, pathless dreams...
*******
if failing to speak of You
toiling for You -
born of love only... Lord...
Alas!
all is defeat formidable...
*******
Still, soul in hearty sorrow
over chosen, fearsome horror
bear in mind - His Mercy indomitable
Grace all-healing... invincible...
