Ill At Ease Or Unfurled


Is your pathway to Heaven now structured,

 with words that your verse seeks to pray

 

Is your stairway straight up or diverted,

 remittance and debts to repay

 

Is your meaning construed or verbatim,

 intention set free of this world

 

Is your love what was given or taken

 —your heart ill at ease or unfurled

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
