Lord: say to my soul, I am your salvation.
I pray that this shall always be our conversation,
that it may be my soul's chief joy and exultation,
to which these poems shall bear witness in jubilation.
Let those words banish from me all fear and consternation,
and the wagging tongues that ever declare damnation.
Lord, I long to enter Heaven, and praise you as Revelation
declares, to us who read it aright, the Liturgy of Praise
to You: Undivided Trinity, Bright and Morning Star, and Ancient of Days.
Starward
