Hound of Heaven<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you knew
\nyour Soul
\nwas the fruit
\nof an immaculate
\nconception,
\na romance
\nin a hideaway
\nin The Mystery,
\nwhere The Creator
\nseduces Love
\non a regular basis,<\/p>\n

would you
\nstill open
\nyour door
\nevery time
\nFear shows up,
\nuninvited and
\nunannounced?<\/p>\n

If you knew the
\nHounds of Heaven
\nhave been loosed,
\nand are looking
\nfor you, to
\nlick your face
\nwith so much
\njoy and adoration
\nthey can\u2019t stop
\nwagging
\ntheir tails,<\/p>\n

would you
\nsit,
\nstonefaced and
\nsilent,
\nsubmerged to
\nyour neck in
\nself-pity?<\/p>\n

If you knew
\nyour Soul
\nwill fly
\nforever,<\/p>\n

would you
\nact as if
\nyour wings
\nare broken?<\/p>\n

I confess
\nI do, and
\nI must beg
\nforgiveness.<\/p>\n

I Am
\nfinally prepared
\nto surrender
\nthe need to
\nname the Voice
\nI hear,
\nevery time,
\nsaying,
\n\u201cI thought
\nyou would never
\nask.\u201d<\/p>\n
