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