Passionate spirits
lay long in regress
Advocating mercy, desire to confess
Their consumptuous souls to thy God above
And abandon thy lusts to thy one true love.
Despite the grace befallen their crowns
Wanting consciouses grow dim,
And thy pure eyes are directed earthbound
Towards seeds now full grown.
The withered stem of redemption
Is noticeable once more
When stresses and desires of the heart
Replace what is before.
But upon failure’s gaze
A condemnation so fierce,
The perfectionism of a human soul
Is understood as imperfect.
Once more they are reminded
That grace is given
Because thy eyes do stray;
Once more are they reminded
Of a love that no man deserves,
But by grace, is true.
