My God, the soul You have placed in me is pure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You blew in my nostrils and I became a living soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How wonderful is Your love, for beauty and for light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My lips are too villainous to speak fairly of it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And my Creator has fashioned me, I am still budding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My soul is desperate, a wound within my heart,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I delight to serve Him, for He is my Father<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I so desire Him, and He desires me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is generous, and there is much work,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I am a learned man, destined for redemption,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As befits the queen, with faith and duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed, He pushed me and my heart is torn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My soul is as a wheel, turning on its hinge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From its end and onward, it will not move at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its sunlight shone beyond her face,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And since then, of all her wishes, she is worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hidden hand shattered my bones,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I became ignoble and became two camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One obeyed the orders of my corpse,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the rest follow my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed, my body knows no lust from them,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For they did not honor its God with delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like a bewildered eunuch, it is deprived of love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its labor leaves it and it does not know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One who eats with it from the cakes of my lust,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the wonders of love, the revealing of the concealed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or lustful words from my nectar and potion,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will hush me with mockery, \u201cWhat will the people say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is he who will never taste of my pleasantness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I, where will I turn? To His delights,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And he, too, was added to my troubles,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To anger me with his rage and with his blows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the day of relief, he will still not give me a blessing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather, his mockery of me will be as plentiful as locusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why walk in the clouds and be so troubled,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For you will surely burn as a flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If time has been kind and has turned to you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together, they did not know you or your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For in degradation they encounter you at every corner,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One will spit in your face, and one will pull out your hair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
