Slow Sink

False pride lifts up soul propped by haughty mind hiding selfishness around shame's fortress oblivious of fall. Such falsity defies truth's stand that builds strong life by God's blest might. Honesty clings to grace securing... ...heart from slow sink's... blow!

A thoughtful spiritual reflection on pride, truth, and grace. The diminishing form effectively enacts the “slow sink,” while the final “blow!” lands with striking force.
