I bought the above picture at the Villiers Square sale of work yesterday. As both my aunt Bridie and uncle Frank live there, it was nice to spend the afternoon at Villiers surrounded by an Aladdins cave of bric-a-brac. The picture depicts Jesus in a prayerful pose, and so I felt the piece below would be apt...
Words and Deeds
A Prayer
Where, where have I
Been until now so lost
In my mind?
Have I forgotten you?
My lips still speak
0f your love
But my heart is silent.
O God, silence these
Words with your
Word, torment my heart
Until, heart-shaken
By desire, I sing
Of that love that
Dies by words alone, but
Lives by deeds.
Where, where have I
Been until now so lost
In my mind?
Have I forgotten you?
My lips still speak
0f your love
But my heart is silent.
O God, silence these
Words with your
Word, torment my heart
Until, heart-shaken
By desire, I sing
Of that love that
Dies by words alone, but
Lives by deeds.
