Beata Agustin Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Resolving Angst

Struggling with bouts of joy midst jealousy
soul keeps escaping from angst, seeking relief
vanquishing pain to bask in ecstasy
while conquering selfishness that brings grief. 

With GOD Who enables love* to prevail
I have learned to choose bliss over despair
submitting will so arrogance would fail 
as faith is exercised in showing care.

*2Thessalonians 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
