Treasure

I have seen  shades of jade
i've felt kinds of agate
Green, red garnet
round pyrites
steel cold
frozen
dead
ice
...
I
t o o,
touched,
and got so
enchanted by
red rubies, purple
amethyst, red and pink
bamboo corals, emeralds as
green as the meadow, sparkling
crystals, shimmering, like diamonds.
...
But, these gems are a pale comparison
to what I keep and cherish deep inside...
...
I
have
this  o n e,
very  precious,
unparalleled treasure,
I could never live without...
the LIGHT of my life, HIS PRESENCE,
MY CREATOR,  MY  LORD,  MY G O D~
the LIGHT of my life, HIS PRESENCE,
I could never live without
unparalleled treasure,
very  precious,
this  o n e

It’s true, death has jaws.
Ten nations wide,
Snarling like
Tomes torn in utter tedium
Like stars rising and falling through the millennia.

But life has arms.
Strong and weather-tanned,
A village builders, heaving bricks and stone into heaven.
Soft as thou mothers breast,
Caressed by your fathers hands,
Suckled in infancy.

Be embraced by these arms, and in the culmination of solemnity,
Set your lips to the beauteous jaws.
