There has to be some tension in attention And something supple in a supplication. One finds little content in contention And too few revels in a revelation. An insight ought to mind and heart incite And alter what one worships at one's altar. At times one needs a rite to get things right, But then could use a salter for one's psalter. Sound advice can often come through sound, And payment made in kind, when hearts are kind. Found relations new relations found, Would one not mind a playful turn of mind. |
