"Batter my heart"

I picked up my treasured copy of John Donne's "Poems of love" today...in an attempt to breathe some poetry into my soul. :) I really should do this more regularly.

"Batter my heart, three person'd God; for, you
As yet but knocke, breathe, shine, and seeke to mend;
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow mee,' and bend
Your force, to breake, blowe, burn and make me new."
- John Donne, from the Holy Sonnets XIV
