46. I WARN YOU

Why are you tormenting me, doubt?
I warn you once and for all,
I shall throw you into the lion-mouth
            Of faith.

Why are you tormenting me, fear?
I warn you once and for all,
I shall throw you into the giant-heart
            Of courage.

Why are you tormenting me, insecurity?
I warn you once and for all,
I shall throw you into the goal-height
            Of oneness.
