Sensual And Patient Poem by Don Nguyen

Sensual teaches one to inhale and patiently absorb
The entire pleasure and sentiments caused by the intimate contact
The same goes with the divine-human, supernatural-and-carnal encounter
One gives, one accepts; one receives, another offers;
Slow pace is needed and patience observed; for time stands still and soul needs to feel the caress
Treasure it so the divine favor with full aroma can be inhaled and impressed
Into the core being of a soul in order for her substance to be transformed
By the heavenly visit which come with all divine glorious transfiguration
Of which the radiant Light will shine on the inner parts of a soul
Illuminates her in every part to shine brilliantly and graciously as long soul remains
In the sanctifying light long enough patiently and submissively for Grace to operate
From within to without being enhanced and glorified
Sensual has begun but now needs to be receding
In order to be replaced by spiritual counterpart which is constantly increasing
Permeating through all inner parts of a soul only slowly
The process of conversion which requires an unusual patience
Like a river of grace calmly flows while watering the arid earth, barren,
Of which the soul's surface has resembled
All those dried cracks can be healed only if soul remains unruffled and calm.
