Upon the Spirit's Stance


A current of anger caught me unaware,

Ripping through the nervous envelope

Usurping calm and commandeering voice,

A foul invective found unlimited scope.


As quickly as it entered it was gone

And I amazed looked closely and fell still

Astounded at lost control, the impudence

Of forces seeking human minds to fill


And human forms to work their nether will.

A lesson learned of constant vigilance

To guard the secret dweller from attack

And found our lives upon the spirit's stance,


Instil the peace impervious to assault

And open to God the sealed and sacred vault.
