When strength lies in quietness
My mouth refuses to rest but catches
My strength to rend
With fretful words, it takes away my gentleness
When fools in silence are counted wise
My mouth through myriads of
Words, bring me lower than a fool
Crushing me with weighty constructions
It stands atop me like a bull
When my life craves its blessing
And would have loved my mouth to pray
My mouth refuses bit chooses my
Blessings to fray
Through murmuring and complain I watch
Lifes goodness running far, far away
My mouth you are the traitor, I therefore
Will strive to quiet you.
