Nearer than hands and feet; closer than breath

Moths of insanity eat up the cloth
From which is spun the garment of the days
The dust of ignorance of countless lives 
settles thickly upon the mirror-mind
Alas, that its perfection seems so dim
On their account! Its spotless purity
Seems to be tarnished and its luster dull.
I am, verily, an ocean of faults
That would be lost forever if not for
The boundless, causeless Mercy of God's Grace
Although darkness seems impenetrable
It disappears in but an instant as
A light illuminates a darkened room
Though it had been dark for a thousand years.
So pray Christ's second coming will be soon
But bear in mind he never really left...
"Nearer than hands and feet. Closer than breath."
