Spill
Drifting, always drifting for reward
the spilling fate around me covets, hoards
and that which God abounds in me, His ford
is dissipated faith, as if some chord
of emptiness surrounds, and then affords
no entry to His being, no accord
that asks for thy whole feeling, thy explored.
This stifling, scene congealing, bores as bored
with trust's return of healing ~ symbol's chore
is undercurrent, stealing, always moored
to honoring of self ~ while God, implored
becomes the extra mention, as to scored.
Oh God, but spill me not, for this consort
I ask in prayer, as now, for all times floored ~
Then, for my love, I ask his freedom's sword
be part of mine in Thee, forever forward!
