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

Herbert Guitang

I started making poems when I was in high school. Creativity and Imagination develop every poem I do. The level of our maturity in poetry brings us self happiness and soar us in all kinds of being and life. I studied Music Composition in University of the Philippines. Through this, it spreads more deepness and bliss to my art and poetry. I believe, INSPIRATION comes to all things within and outside us. INSPIRATION that unifies and serve as LIFE to our being.
