The Unfinished Work
"Distress'ed mind, forbear"
Tapestry unfinished
Piece contradistinguished
Color varieties
Leaves one's thoughts astonished
Like dance well choreographed
God in his wisdom knew
What this feeble heart anguished
Each day like unfinished
Embroidery__beauty
Still yet unaccomplished
Like a heart that's unchurched
Just waiting the spirit
On them be bequeathed
When enters astonished
Will they be___unfinished
Like quilt put together
Waiting to be finished
Yes__God will have to work
His magical design
That in his plan aligned
(After reading Edna St. Vincent Millay from "Huntsman What Quary?(1939) Poem # 3. used her first line __direct quote "Distress'ed mind, forbear".)
