Challenge

Tongue briefly held in check
my body broken of respect
from sacrificing wronged neglect
I, plaintiff of among, direct ~
my feet to pathways, God's suggest!

Then by commanding, take the trek
and plant my courage, no regret,
harms way the venture, my adept
forgets past treasons, files concept
and newness' reason, captives net ~

Faith's challenge frees . . . on wisdom's neck!
