Far out of sight and out of mind
Are truths that help us not to fall;
The wicked man is walking blind.
Far out of sight and out of mind
The truth he will not seek to find-
His thoughts are not of God at all;
Far out of sight and out of mind
Are truths that help us not to fall.

Author notes
Psalm 10:4-5a~
(4)The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
(5a)His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight:...
I read that last phrase from the verses above, and it made me think of a phrase I use often- "out of sight, out of mind." I didn't realize God said it first!

Hey, Painpoet!
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your comment- thank you!
I actually like the triolet form, but this particular one was a challenge to write- it was difficult to make the words say exactly what I wanted them to say.
I do have other non-Bible-related triolets among my collection, if you're ever interested to browse for them- just so you know!
Thank you again!
