Assuagement


Is there gold which lies beyond the guilt?
Or is this another fallible misconception?

Shall I be ashamed and hide in the disillusionment of hibernation?
Or plunge my feet into the crystal clear smooth waters of depth?

In my fury of mental deliberation
A sliver of light begins to refract and emerge.

Improper sacrifices are rebuked
Shouldering the burden of linear thinking.

A shepherd and image bearer
Obligated to save truth
That is hidden

Rectifying rivals,
Finding refuge in the inadequacies

Insufficiency
A reminder
Of dead weight

A cracked cistern
Holding no water

This unflinching hidden agenda
Requires risk to seek the mineral,

Perspective against  humility
And weakness

A providence of failings
And motives
Laced with intent

Enthralled by mercy
Triumphing over judgment.
