Fear and trembling

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



What for? Are these notes you are sending,

Are they for you,
Or me? Tell-
Of joy
To
All
Who are
Your sheep, not,
Condescending.

Will that really
Set me free?
The truth
Is
There
For all
Who can find
A little here,
A little there,
To open
The eyes
Of
The
Blind.
Some may say,
It isn't fair,

His sheep hear his voice. Now I am rambling.

The truth I say
Only one way
With fear
And
Understanding.
