Virginity (?)

I'm going to need something
to keep me going strong, to continuously
remember my God, my love and fortitude.
Many throughout time have given
themselves over to no one else but that One,
and I've thought of that way. To trust Virginity,
a strange sign in others' eyes, hell, even mine;
I see how they wander. Yet, why should I doubt
in my heart of hearts that this is what
has been approaching? Hear! The Lord is One:
Love with all heart, soul, strength, and mind.
Damn! My wandering eyes, will you find
that kind rock to rest my spirit upon?
May I embrace with whom and how I am to be.

(Deuteronomy 6:4-13, Psalm 18, Matthew 17 14-20 - Memorial of St. Clare)
