THE RIVETING CONSTANT

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

'Bastian

quick

come look and see

do you recognize the myth

or rather is it now truly me

surely you must recall

such arrogant amazing flaw

does not so easily fell

this fragile breath filled

vessel

forcefully starving off

catastrophe

a spirited quaint myriad of

spiritual memories alas arrives

and ah but for thee alone

with a bursting heart in tow

my love , ever 'The Riveting Constant'

marvels at truth's flexibility

even when broken

in its hoped for return

sincerity awaits

challenged repeatedly to grow

beloved mystery of the soul

unveil thyself to faith

in your truest light

and compel me to embrace

the essence of mine own honesty

with the grace of God's own

encompassing stare

I beseech thee in reference

to all that is

greatly right................
