26. I keep sentinel

I keep sentinel
Over my loveless words;
    Therefore
My heart is nearing
My Lord’s Perfection-Door.

I keep sentinel
Over my black thoughts;
    Therefore
My mind is nearing
My Lord’s Perfection-Door.

I keep sentinel
Over my teeming desires;
    Therefore
My vital is nearing
My Lord’s Perfection-Door.

I keep sentinel
Over my Godless deeds;
    Therefore
My body is nearing
My Lord’s Perfection-Door.
