Reparation

Oh Deity! It has been so long

Since you've told me right from wrong;

No more do you creep

Into the world of my dreams

And I think Ive won your favour

Back, from what it seems.

These days I believe

You are removing

My struggles from beyond me

Even as I'm smitten

And I can see surreptitiously

You fill my cup till it runneth over,

Sorting neem from clover.

The other day I stood in line

To see your sweet face

Glowing up from behind

And you have I can see

Thought to rescind

All the curses that befell me

When I was blind.

Im sitting here in my gloom

Thinking of invoking you

Far into my life and room

And I know that very soon

You will visit me true

In the world of my dreams

Where I am no more blue.

So I thank you deity

For for a child

Left alone in the forest

You walk forever beside.
