Within the words of the scripture
the sermon on the mount
words of power, that love liberates
loosing the bonds of hate
of the cost of the cycle on the soul
freeing the oppressed
from the power over them
letting them love unconditionally
Drawing nearer to the master
hearing his call
uncluttered, unburdened
without trouble at all
