Shift
Begetting thee ~ not from some earning's heave
or wantonness, attributing its leave
to need, I need thee, as my own believe
to spiritual truth as Godly as the weave
of grace, without the care, the intercede
that sometimes sullen, hoping some retrieve
will bring you near ~ and cursing all that cleave
against my soul, because your closeness grieves ~
In spirit, you are claim to my bereave
as wondering, had prayed, I might conceive
your closeness, as an entity, our seed
an everlasting holding, an exceed
of furthering ~ thee bonded, my recede,
were only in thy bonding, mine concede
to thy faith's beauty ~ only then to lead
in faith ~ my prowess longing would complete
thy calling to my own ~ in Godly creed.
Oh closeness ~ strive me not to so impede
too closely, that I lose my spiritual read
this hope from God, called love, His measuring
to carnal basting ~ that man's eye does bleed
to see sin's wasting glory ~ from decreed
and fathom not the trust, the victory
from waiting on design of calling's heed.
Do shift me not, from righteous following ~
A spiritual pathway, to thee, in thee ~ plead!
