Middle
Obstructions here, and evil there
my heart can't focus on a prayer
to save thy grace, a place to share
seems inner bound, impacted care.
And how the ogler feels his prime
by wayward drumming of his line.
Incentive wanes to thy entwine
adulterous, then cursing, mine!
Within - a prison of sustain,
I hate, and know then, thy restrain
of hating ~ I am closer, sane
to God's true gift of zealous main.
This middle ground, this fetish, plain,
I wait on 'morrow's hope, its twain
and know a better life, with aim
to thy return, with strength's maintain.
In thee ~ a seeing all refrain
is love from spirit's search again
and closer to thy shore am gain
to thy own kind, with trust's remain.
An equity brought on by pain
does fill my score with thee ~ explain!
