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...
