Will you love
knowing that love does not last
eternally?
Will you bear
the pain, unheeding agony
alone?
Is the short-lived joy
enough to remedy a parting
forever?
Why do you plunge,
eager to impale yourself on
the sharp thorns of a rose withered and torn?

What has robbed me of the joy
that delights in Your love?
Why have Your Words become
so tedious
that I have come
to detest knowing?
Your love so great
yet my heart so unwilling-
I have sinned
yet I did not know.
I pray for strength
and hope to find
forgiveness,
Your glory and my Faith revived.

A Moral Compass
What is good
that we yearn within
yet cannot reach?
Why does our nature
lead us into evil
temptation, instead of righteousness?
Does the forbidden
fruit attract us
such that we forget our humanity?
Or is it Humanity
that seeks to stumble us,
to fall from holy grace?
Is it true
that the Devil is
behind our devious thoughts?
Or is it
our frail attempts to justify
the evil within?
