Why does it seem I never win

There is a tree

To which I cling

as the rope

pulls at my throat


There is one snag

in my resolve

Why does the tree

not help at all?

Where is my regret?

I cannot write
There are no words
I'm lost at sea
with no remorse

where is the guilt
That should reside
within my heart
or by my side

Why do I struggle
against the flow
of that which I
do not control

Where are my words
They left me dry
Without remorse
Or guilt inside

Through Tribulation and Desire

lord prepare me

to be a sanctuary

pure and holy

free of adultery

free of immorality

through struggle and trial

tribulation and desire

help me to here thy voice

and stray not from the path

lord prepare me

to be a sanctuary

pure and holy

pure and holy
