I SOB

Charles J. Ingerson: I Sob
Photo ©Copyright 2004 by Charles J. IngersonTears streaming
body so racked
lost from dreaming
truth so attacked

Speaking softly
treasure of heaven
explaining gently
truth with leaven

To those I love
extending a diamond
given from above
spiritual the kingdom

I sob uncontrolled
nights extend soaked
my spirit un-consoled
my messages revoked

Whispers in stillness
hidden by the rock
or worse in silliness
all feelings to block

I sob inadequate
so much to be taught
but now I sadly quake
justice and mercy sought
