THE CHEATIf you do not wish to
delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the
url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof)
between <!-- and -->
(ie. <!-- POEM TEXT HERE
-->). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from
viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the
<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
A Psalm of Need
Hear me, O Lord!
my body thirsts for knowledge
of your love and wisdom.
Allow me to drink from your chalice,
and when I have been quenched
no evil could stain my lips
for they have been cleansed
with the wine of your righteousness.
It is your righteousness that I seek,
tho it is with a heavy heart;
for often I find myself on bended knee,
but I sometimes fear it to be in vain.
Strengthen my faith in prayer.
Help me to water the seed
that you planted in my heart
so that it may grow to bear good fruit.
For this flesh alone would never allow it.
Only the guidance of your hand
can nourish it and build it father,
for yours is the hand of patience
and divine mercy.
Amen!
