Obedience
As deft remain, engender all else claim
obedience call so sacred but to twain,
the waterways dividing in remain
and never coinciding with norm's plain!
And so the answer chiding must refrain
while backing not away, impatience name,
the guard rail so defining enters main
the guesswork none exciting, none in vain!
What certainty reciting soul's arraign
and pieces fretting, hiding the mundane,
this quiet mystery, upon the focused gain,
God's purpose not inciting riots of fame!
That one address, faith's riding speaks the aim
my silent share complying, rest's contain.
That silvery sea of gliding unknown reign
is freedom . . . thought's arriving from profane!
