Listen,

Listen, a lot of people 
hold a truth in their heart 
that's at odds with God's 
words and it hurts.

They can't seem 
to understand how grace 
is loosed within us like 
a beast with in infinite 
leash, tearing

And rending with gnashing
teeth at any bad self bad truth
bad want bad need it can 
surprise upon with angry
pounce! While simultaneously
at the same time, nudging 
and nuzzling up for 
cuddles and scratches 
to all our good self good
truth good want good need, 

And loving every minute 
of the attention we give it, 
willingly and warily, greater 
of heart so gratefully full,
mind so carefully blank and
clear, thinking no bad thought
no bad thought at all oh dear
