Seven (II) : Endeavour

Along the path often winding though true,
seven to endeavour, find and pursue.

Affection for one near though silently distanced,
amends abound, deeds through persistence.

Sleight of hand, grey fades into black,
to see, hear and know before the act.

One's weakness prey to another's strength,
to withhold Themis at far arms' length.

Jagged words abet wounded esteem,
bite the tongue, halt needless screams.

From dusk till dawn flow constant murmurs,
listen well, heart in truth surely hears.

Imperfect beings striving for perfection,
an ear, a hand to accede to completion.

For wisdom, truth and infinite abundance,
to lie beholden to a higher presence.
