Notes About The Poem

Character

As the sunlight permeates the fog
Revealing dust's debris
Sunbeams filter within the soul
Exposes faults carefree

As selfishness dances around 
Critical nature unfolds 
A little pride displays itself
That hateful spirit cold 

Lasciviousness floats below
Displays lust's wantonness
Are these desires cleaned from the soul
Other thirsts thoughtlessness

Cleansed by sunlight's radiant beams
Variance swiftly exposed
Hatred, wrath and strife destroyed
To love quickly transposed

When touched by the master's swift hand
All character flaws cleansed
Why did not simple surrender
Happen sooner my friend 

finis'

You have a great message to teach in this one, Sarah. And a home-run on those last two lines ... we unfortunately carry with us a lot of hesitancy, most of the time.
