SORROW

My how sorrow rejuvenates

Passionately stirring moth eaten psyche

Human idiosyncrasy

Pompous narcissism

Flagrant ego entanglement

Compressed by remorseful blight

Once the anguish wanes

Unhealthy tethers wither

Replaced by consuming prudence

Speechless resolution

Winding trail of dependent relationships

Swept clean

Of clinging rotten vines

This disciple

Must make the journey alone

Integrated oneness with God

My puerile docility

Honed by crestfallen pride

“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death”

2 Corinthians 7:10
