Sonnet

If we say we have no sin in us.
We are deceiving ourselves.
Self awareness is something about which we should make a fuss.
We are not honest about ourselves only themselves.

I bless you Lord from hiding these things from the learned and the clever.
And revealing them to mere children.
Catherine of Siena’s words live for ever.
Her burning heart of love could not be hidden.

Yet she only learned to write in her last three years.
And now she is one of the churches doctors.
Her dictated writings brush away our tears.
She resolved the churches schism better than any lawyers.

We wish we had true simplicity.
We might then have more felicity.

Haiku

True simplicity
Brings much more felicity
We wish we had it
