Salaciously that spirit
of discontent beckoned me
      shadowing my heart,
      twisting the sinews of
              my whitewashed heart...
              my redeemed heart...

Joy took leave
              so sudden was its apparition.

No, no, nothing of it!

Dropping on my knees
imploring, pleading, recalling former times...till

       His light shone once more...till
       His light dissolved

              the worthless dreams
             the caricatures of comfort

and Joy walked back.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11
