SORROW
My how sorrow rejuvenates
Passionately stirring moth eaten psyche
Human idiosyncrasy
Pompous narcissism
Flagrant ego entanglement
Compressed by remorseful blight
Once the anguish wanes
Unhealthy tethers wither
Replaced by consuming prudence
Speechless resolution
Winding trail of dependent relationships
Swept clean
Of clinging rotten vines
This disciple
Must make the journey alone
Integrated oneness with God
My puerile docility
Honed by crestfallen pride
“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death”
2 Corinthians 7:10
(C) Bill Grimes Jr. 2006
