Enlargment

I have poured out my heart      like water
But only those understanding      will see
I have laid the grief      of the children
before the King      appointed to be


I have studied      each fragile connection
and the way      that men hurt their own
the shield and the scars      sealed deeply
and left too many hearts      without home

 
Slave to traditions      and teachings
don’t taste      don’t touch      and don’t care
Ten thousand things      that you shouldn’t
of ideological     stoning beware


But none can follow      examples
of courses      they don’t understand
but let’s flay them alive      with blazing
and their lives      let’s mark with a brand

 
When learning     you to walk upright
when  you fell      were you beaten and shamed
if just now you are learning      to do right
is it just      when you fall to be framed


In the gentle stillness 
in movement softer than a breeze
pictures of their future
the rest of man at ease


And tender are the Words
that coax the fragile shoots
whose mildness alights 
the growth of goodly fruits
 

Your promises have held me
and voice mine ears carress
in delicate expressions
which avows your loves address
 

You have drawn us with affection
with persuasions clearly pure
assurances of a truthful pledge
of a love that will endure
 

In earnest is your bestowal
the announcements of your speech
in readiness to accomplish
to divulge the heart you teach


The essence of your compassion
the ardor of your intent
the center of our being
to its enlargement are we bent


We waded through embankments
and rivers did we ford 
sought for the precious things
what is the Truth of Lord


You are the Sun the Moon the Rain
the energy that creates growth
the spirit who supports all Life
and to save it given oath


We will forever turn to you
and happily throw our crown
prostrate in humble gratitude
For the Love within have found
