failing to speak of You
"Out of love only"
make the lips mute
not to worship You
"Born of love only"
make the mind sterile
the upshot - dreadfully dire
reprove, reprove
the unrepentant talker
the shameless liar
failing to rebuke
"Out of love only"
the uncontrite sinner -
wean the thoughts
from evolving
into a single-hearted winner
reprove, reprove
"lover" unpromising
cowardly mind, unheroic heart
(another chance missing)
to waste lapse of time
scribbling of unfamiliar matters
make the pen impotent
reprove, reprove
the naive scribbler
for others' time can be more potent
stay stone-still:
in cavernous, echoing nil
- loss of innocence
profane, hardened heart
harebrained schemes
futile dreams
if failing to speak of You
toiling for You -
"Born of love only" - Lord
Alas!
all is defeat formidable
Still, soul in hearty sorrow
over chosen, fearsome horror
bear in mind - His Mercy indomitable
Grace all-healing - invincible
