Shyness

Nature shows
conspicuous as it may be;
others would say so,
‘no, you’re not!
however, it doesn’t jibe
what you’re and the needs you’ve got,
quite contrary to the values of Christian life.

Again, it’s superficial
judging from the surface
without getting deeper from it;
a helpless failure.

It’s a way to endeavor
on certain issues to determine
the why’s and what’s as they prevail
in the mainstream of being shy.

Well, individual differences
can excuse us to be judged, then.
That shyness in me articulates 
God’s spirit and love. 

In prayer and in silence
of the heart willing to inspire
to anyone who cares to know who really I am.
