Doorless Inn

Love
is a doorless inn 
flowing live spring
for arid souls to drink
body and spirit heal
some leave pain imprint
supreme pride stampede
piercing hands and feet 
with scars that hurt
and bleed
others gratefully give
opening new love inns
binding wounds to heal
poor and hungry feed
so much progress made
to heal bodily ills
only Jesus Christ can heal 
the soul 
of deadly sins
