A dream pondering thoughts,
The reality of that which is not, to be or not to be, immense deprivation,
A whirlwind world within a seven day work week, time tricking employment, tick-tock, tick-tock
Unholy exhaustion expires the pallet of holy desire, massive drainage, a vortex pulling downward,
Spiraling, lacking, drowning within a multitude of colors, blushing pale and perplexed, tick-tock, tick-tock,
It all coexists, coalescing, prayer and adaption, brutalization beating upon practiced humility,
Realms daily inhabiting confused interactions, coping, arguing, ignoring the blood gouging grins,
The many, loud and crying out for individuality, being unique, set apart, hammer the fists,
The need of being needy amongst the needy, amassed and a mist, the masses, eyes crying cloudy,
Dazed and confused upon the environ of rough landings, many flights never taken, a dodo walks dumb,
The continual confinement of contemplative emancipation, a grounded short-circuit, a fire never started,
Hungry, starving, sacrificial sign of a crucifixion loving, one to both sides, a good and bad thief,
Maybe I am right and maybe I am wrong, acquiescing, quieting the mind, forgiving,
Lord assist me, have mercy,

Remember that there are things which blemish perfect purity, without being in themselves downright acts of impurity. Anything which tends to lessen its intense sensitiveness, or to cast the slightest shadow over it, is of this nature; and all evil thoughts or foolish acts of levity or heedlessness are as steps towards the most direct breaches of the law of chastity. Avoid the society of persons who are wanting in purity, especially if they are bold, as indeed impure people always are…a corrupt pestilential man can scarcely hold communication with others, whether men or women, without damaging their perfect purity— their very glance is venomous, and their breath blighting…seek out good and pure men, read and ponder holy things; for the Word of God is pure, and it will make those pure who study it: wherefore David likens it to gold and precious stones. Always abide close to Jesus Christ Crucified, both spiritually in meditation and actually in Holy Communion….if you rest your heart upon Our Dear Lord, the Very Lamb, Pure and Immaculate, you will find that soon both heart and soul will be purified of all spot or stain.  —The Saint Francis de Sales Collection
