I SOB
Tears streaming
body so racked
lost from dreaming
truth so attacked.
Speaking softly
treasure of heaven
explaining gently
truth with leaven.
To those I love
extending a diamond
given from above
spiritual the kingdom.
I sob uncontrolled
nights extend soaked
my spirit un-consoled
my messages revoked.
Whispers in stillness
hidden by the rock
or worse in silliness
all feelings to block.
I sob inadequate
so much to be taught
but now I sadly quake
justice and mercy sought.
