Certificate unsigned
  pen firmly in hand

The bliss not for barter
  its insight free-stands

Faith and acceptance
  may go where they please

To my grave and beyond
  the verse teaches and frees

No savior I ask for
  forgiveness I shun

Redemption unspoiled
  new ink on the run

Till one day uncovered
  hidden deep on the shelf

A message unchristened
   buried dark and unfelt

Where the voice I was gifted
  and the music I heard

In themselves live forever
  β€”free unbaptized words

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
