Lip service

Muttering hymns, mustering all her will

she sat beside the window sill

A Soft breeze flew past her,ruffling her hair

yet she shook her head ,mustering all her despair

The cuckoo chirped notes so sweet

yet she continued her recital sweating in the heat

The gladioli grew outside,sharing an irresistible scent

yet she read the verses without comprehending what they meant

The fear of the supreme lord's curse still plagued her mind

she still couldn't forget the past she had left behind

The gladioli ,the song ,his blessings  meant no substance

all that was important was mere lip service
