Could you face the face
That you had defaced?
In your mind
Jungle prevails
On hectic side roads -
Dizzy, untraced,
Novel, bootless affairs,
Betrayals, infidelities -
A set-up that fails.
Running worthless race,
Refusing His golden gift
In uncontrite disgrace
That all ways can't erase...
(run away, turn a tail
and positively fail...).
The Holy Visage
Can't be eluded
Or Ideal Heart
Ever deluded;
At the crucial End,
Must ineluctably face...
All piercing Gaze;
No senseless web
Confusing maze;
No craftily escaping
Impenitent disgrace -
No credible defense
For atrocious offense...
No affairs to amuse
Nor pleas, pretexts
Or affording hope, excuse...
(Are you deep in reverie
faraway - bemused?)
Can you face
The All-knowing Gaze?
Can you face the face
Can you face my face?

Who is my mother?

"The one who does,
The will of My Father..."
