旷野诗选
Wilderness Anthology

Purity

You would rather be treated as blockheads,
to insist on and stand fast on
the words with neither an iota nor a dot removed or added.

With enthusiastic devotion in determination of separation,
never allow sins
to invade the newly-built homeland.

Undergoing all tribulations across oceans,
you signed a covenant of faith
to safeguard inner pureness.

Having nothing at all but trying utmost
to reclaim virgin wild
in fulfilled grace.

Weaving through the hail of bullets,
write separations in life and parting at death
in firm will to go forward tenaciously!

“The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.”
