Analysis of Wash My Heart From The Ground Of Imperfection
Wash My Heart From The Ground Of Imperfection
Renewing my self in purity
A long process of sincerity
Gradual change with serenity
With concious effort in dignity
Cleaning my soul in chastity
A long prayer of solemnity
Gradual to contemplate inner spirituality
With intense care in sobriety
Soak my heart to dissolve impurity
Stains still remain in subtlety
Dirtiness still prone in reality
Dried with sunshine of benevolence and amity
Cloak my being in genuine humility
Having mistakes, as perfect human identity
Immerse every moment in the mirror of honesty
Wash my heart from the ground of imperfection
With our own INSTINCT of soft kindness,
deep compassions, miles of patience,
tenderness of affection, oceanic understanding,
and
digging our inner
and our dust nature of clay simplicity
in a world of complexity.
Bong Herbert Guitang
