Simplify, eradicate demands, density scarce, tension released,
Distractions arrayed within a lessening, pulverizing angst,
Lowering expectations, increasing attention,
Peace infused, muttering fewer incantations,
Muzzling ranting prayers, quiet, and quieter still,
Scrupulosity identified, surrendering self-immersed confrontations,
Pleasure and sweetness no longer pursuing religious perversity,
Needing not to be the center of conversation, needing not clever recanting,
Needing not mental victories, needing not rationalizations, needing not romantic fantasies, needing not the lunatic fringe,
Grounded and real; natural—smooth and easy within the warring,
Suffering attacks of insecurity without consternation, genuine, aspiring to progress, reflecting ideas of purity,
Behavior and thought cleansed as a consequence, vivaciously surrounding life with honest gentle relationships,
Able to be generous, loving and sympathetic, lastingly building wholesome and true,
Detaching from harsh self-retribution, patient and kind onto one’s self, normal and sane,
Acceptance within love and compassion, knowing imperfections, standing in the center of humility,
Reducing acts of creative determination, debasing the self-dramatic debutant, smashing the stirrings of angry singularity,
Knowing artistically rarer occasions of individual humiliation, infrequently imagining a multitude of wrathful retributions,
Preserving in order to maintain deeper Divine intimacy, gracefully relieved from the burden of self, sustaining,
Opened wide and heavenly sound, grateful and dumb during worshipping, softly singing harmoniously,
Curtailing the noisy winds of self-dismay, asking not too much, despair and resolve petering out into diminutive waves, drifting, aimless and free,
Merging within concepts of forgotten readings, elapsed learning settling unconsciously within memories of sorrow, slight accumulation within the expanding,
The humanity of Abbot Lehody flowering into an exquisite example, profoundly consecrated and cloistered,
Refusing the need of reducing that which grasps onto the finest imitation,
Allowing proper self-loathing to latch on into the lightness of being,
Prayer of quietude without meditations nor elucidations,
Eliminating youthful desperate clinging, adolescent worldly ambitions hiding within spiritual aspirations,
Enough is enough, pride led before growing up, a baby weaning upon milk,
Not even regret lingers within the loitering on into nothingness, acknowledgment unaware, a psyche change, different ways,
Rooted natural, smooth, and easy within the warring, the battle churns on, fortitude and perseverance,
Everything is the same within the changing, transformation through the years, memories and a life, growing old,
Get back to where you once belonged,
Abiding within the Church.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary.
All you saints and angels pray for us.
