There in the beauty of all that is sacredA fineness of intricacy only beheld in all its gloryRefined in gold and relinquished in stories of allThe richness of old and new tattered in finery of distant faithA warmth of rivers known only to fewWithin there sits awaiting the birth of newAgainst the crushed leafs of yarrow and cedarThe fragrance is strong but soothing to withinIt basks against the bark and runs free as oceans are to flowA light of endless purity and ever not to be stillCrashing still to boundless fear a haven of ecstasy born by lightDown to crevasses mounds off ancient blissFilled within the porous mounds it travels fervent without causeAround the forks of streams and roots of barbarous terrainFollowing a path that is made by unnatural meansRibs of parched anger it billows over with hasteToward the eminent lions it stalksRains beat down on hallowed out frowns made by hearts of stealAnd in all its fervourPlant yet another seed within
