Bow
So bowing, as in reverence giving sign,
I bow before thy heart, thy needing mine
bows not - pride in thee, not false assign
that bows to seek indifference - undermine!
Strung fiercely, this indemnity's define
stays near my faith - faith near its own resign.
I bow not - that thy love no meaning's rhyme
would find or need contention that would climb.
Toward the stars, love's purpose in consign
does waver not, 'tho ego seeks combine.
To bow alone in grace, my heart's divine,
does break not, nor invade thy solace' prime -
Forever love, thy trace near me is fine -
'tho still away, thee merit all incline!
