Somewhere within the repetitious rhymes

Somewhere within the repetitious rhymes
of psalms is where my mind is. My warm heart
makes music now the same as in my youth,
although I'm not much different. Here I am

repeating things again. I hope you can forgive
me for the ways I fuss and moan and weep
within a verse. O reader hear the sadness
within all happiness, know that the trials

we face are not just static things, they become
living narratives. A wrath of God that
is somehow merciful, my awful self

is somehow also awesome. Yet vanity
assails my writing, obscures the pure knowledge
whirling about me, makes it seem a dream.
