Looking outside
And wanting more
More and more
Comparing
Desiring
Lusting
Needing.
Envy and
Strife
Wield their power
Force their might
Battle my soul
For my heart
My life.
Love
Joy and
Peace
Sound their song
And through their
Stillness
I am strong.
Last night you kissed me
And caressed me and undressed me
I was the most beautiful woman in the world
This morning
You do not know me
Human nature-
When self rises up
And fights to overtake
This battle being fought
When flesh and spirit wrestle
To dominate, my will is my own
To do as I please, my spirit as a
Gentle pure dove longing for true
Righteousness, I fight this battle on
My knees until finally I can take no more
I submit to Thy will and Thy tender
Grace
