Dungy poetry
Closer than breath is my God,
Though I seek Him far from near.
Though love for me He holds dear,
I pine for things my heart does tear.
His thoughts and acts are about me,
Making my good His great desire.
His word guides my heart to aspire
To attain His goal before I retire.
What else should I ask of my God,
When in Christ He meets my care?
He should grow me as wheat, not tare,
Lest I at my calamity stare.
By my strength no good comes,
For Christ in me does His will.
When on the cross He paid the bill,
There He set me free from the mill.
He's with me to guard and guide;
Ensure I take my steps in His light.
Before me, His way is bright;
I need not stumble or grope in fright.
What needless pain I bear up,
Missing out on the rest Grace bestows!
I'm a dungy dust that weakness mows,
Not a dazzling diamond that in strength glows!

A cool and dungy place
A dark and filthy place is mine
An ugly place is my mind
It feels not
Nor cares not
For all the things I hold dear
It sees not
Nor shares not
For all the things that are real
Oh what an dark dungy place
A filthy dirty place is here
No light does it see
No sound can it hear
Only the ideas that it brings
It considers are true
The lies
The mistakes of the past
Are what it can only understand
Oh what an dark dungy place
A filthy dirty place is here
Curse the thoughts there of
Erase them I plea
Truly a damned place I possess
A prison I have found
No escape can I find
From this dungy dirty place
Which be my own mind
