Humanity
How thin, the veil that wraps us, tenderly, in life -
Unseen filaments of energy, cognition and mass,
Made enduring by the weave of a hand, divine,
And the employment of immaculate intention ...
Nonetheless, we rise and thrive as if immutable -
Immortality, a harlequin of hope for the faithful.
Time and constitution may crumble ahead of us,
Yet the human spirit perseveres... through LOVE.
