Fear of Time and Heart

And then I realized I could not wait
for a feeling,
for peace,
for goosebumps.

It began to dawn on me
That a decision must be made
apart from the heart
to save the soul,
and everything else.

And I could no longer flee
when I was upset
but must needs always
go
directly.

I must read
and pray
when even I had sinned
and when the world
conspired
and brother sinned against me…

I realized,
or began to,
that even then
in all of those
I must approach.
