Joseph Jeremiah Naye Poet Free verse

U N C O V E R E D

I felt scared and naked
Though fully clothed
I felt lonely than a loner 
Never felt like this on the inside

I knew I had breached the great divide
The shield had lost its defense
My undoing has done me in

Woe to me! I am undone
I am a man of unclean lips
I have entered His presence unworthily
I carried unholy fire in my censors
I dread the reactions of my actions
Nadab and Abihu didn't have a second chance.

With trepidation I approached the throne
Crying "touch my tongue
Cleanse me with the refiners fire
I come bowed pleading for mercy
Appealing on your compassion.

Renew the right spirit within me
And restore unto me the joy of salvation
