Purity 2

Purity is dignity turned round, And held up from inside, rather than out… It picks up all the possibilities And measures them Like a tailor marks a clout – with care… with CARE… As if a mere rag were a wedding suit It concerns itself not, with Whether it is seen by anyone Or no-one, It plays the same game, always. It is the integrity within integrity, An innocent desire for perfection, that harms no-one in its search A saint saying prayers, because he loves to say the prayers. That’s purity.
