compose my composition
for a golden ratio shimmers anew

a whirlwind woman whipped by wisps
transfigured out of a precious spiral
reframed to behold a glorious ascent

shackles of shame broken asunder
abreast of the ***** of forgiveness
transgressions lost at the sea of repentance

the tidings roar,
drowning out my plaintive, prodigal cries

the leprous sores of my soul
lapped and encircled by cerulean tempests

I boldly offer myself to be swallowed whole

resplendent ripples of bedewed flames
cast upon my darkened soul

an anointing of grace
lays buoyant atop my shy understanding

warmth waft, arise to dry my cries
gradient radiance bless my life everlasting

deign to meet me on my knees,
my head cast down with hopes raised high

shield my weakness and bless me to shine,
praying for a peaceful departure

she's beautiful the way she flies
with time upon her wings
a sussurus of sand elapsing
a due date for heartstrings

forgiveness foretold seventy times seven
hopes outstretched and reaching towards heaven

when I dwell in You, I shall not want
pen my life story in a baptismal font

a bouquet of jasmine
held with a bushel of pecks
to satiate a peckish heart

a longing way to go
we push past mirages,
running while chaste
to a tangible start

echoes and ripples a stone's throw away
on a body of water, corporeal form
atop spiritual warfare, ethereal disturbance
assured by a shoreline longing for warmth
