Numbed-Cataract Soul
Swaddled closeted and cold
Merciless, self pitied and old
Lifeless as dusty coal.
Tearless, joyless, cancered shell
Pain neither enters nor exits hell
Parched thirst that none will quell
Bloated small within a cell.
Hoarding pain as if a jewel
Bitter root the only fuel
A mask of wisdom plays the fool
Lie of safety so icy cruel.
Cease burning breath -- inhale
New air billowing beyond the vale
Lungs once coal now pink and pale
First step foal, so weak and frail
Life in death and death in life
A hope that stirs beyond all strife
Blood and bread in joy and grief
A penitent hope, a strong belief
Forgive
