Thoughts

We acknowledge thoughts in their aesthetic beauty,
And for their moral power,
Hostile traps waiting to ensnare the unprepared
Like one pursued by a host of demons
Struggling against an encircling shelf of care,
Sentimental about individual rights,
And the nature of freedom.
Pain reveals that we are loved with personal freedom and not restraint.
Wrong ways of living bring about undesirable situations.
Love that will not let me go,
Hold me unyieldingly.
Angels of God surround us,
Stronger than the devil,
Around us and in us,
Surrounding us with stength.
Strong in body and will,
Discovered by one who is stronger still.
Love that holds us so unrelentingly that it leaves us bruised.
The adversary approaches us on velvet feet,
And leaves us naked.
