 </div><p></p>In this unelapsed trying time, I yet woke<br>
As life’s trials weigh heaviness in my mouth.<br>
Too many beffudled voices, grappling within,<br>
My garrulous lips could utter none!<br>
So that I lay hold of this pen, let it speak for me<br>
Let it help my infirmities as it links with core<br>
Of my soul – reeling off the glebe of its shore.<br>
I commune with my creator via this bleeding ink,<br>
Even as my blood in passion, flows like tiding ocean<br>
Streaming into the realm, holy of hollies, prior as I knock<br>
Muttering worship and praise for gift of life.<br>
In anguish, I plunge in the blood of the lamb<br>
So that my crimson besmirched figure be turned to snow.<br>
Then, my soul, cumbered of multi-farious, hydra-headed<br>
Issues, I heave out as excrements – dung<br>
As I drop ’em at the feet of the Great Enigma –<br>
Let Him alone unravel my mysterious woe<br>
And bring me to the denuoement, fixing resolution<br>
To my poetic prose, that I may prance in deliverance<br>
As I exit the realm in gay chant of songs of praises…
