An Artful Grace
In the radiant glow of the final trial, The Beloved One doth blaze,
A finest incense, wafts in the air, Relieving otherness in liberating ways,
It lends to joy and sorrow, an artful grace, To freedom’s flight, and captivity’s embrace, Its presence graces life and even death,
A symphony that echoes, with every breath.
Amidst the storms that rage upon life’s sea, The Other stands firm, unwavering and free, Liturgical depths, untouched, serene, Unruffled by the tempest, fierce and keen.
The breadth and depth of this Other’s domain, A vast, open ocean, untouched by disdain, Though swells may surge, turbulent and grand, They only serve to purify the land.
The “ozone” of health and courage does it yield, To strengthen weary hearts on life’s battlefield, With each trial faced, its otherness is revealed, An eternal sanctuary, forever sealed.
