Just

God are you (there or
lost) is he, she so right
when not is (sin
I look, hear not) any diffusion
my thoughts (mysterious, bewildered
mind) me not upon this (chase
life unlike light) whispering butterflies
suffering shelves (succeed briefly)
nature unfed of love survival
sharing existence (in untried eternal love
I shelter my soul for your forgiveness)
split by malformation (with rising faith
continuing on a path chosen for me) just




in tribute to E.E. Cummins,I tried to let his muse and my muse to communicate for 
inspiriration of his style not to exactly copy but come close, I hope this will make him 
proud,his style indeed is difficult for me but etremely beautiful and rich
