Alchemy to Ring

Seized be this spirit in a moment of dark despair
Absent of knowing God's light and ever loving care
Oppression upon my heart yet be lain
The shackle of emotion still held profane
This mind to silence the daunting echoes of time past
And free this heart from chains cast
Memory to free both heart and soul
Alchemy to ring its welcomed toll
I again in a golden light of faith and love
Served by truth and the heavens above
Clear be the messages of heart now heard
Filled with the glory of God's Word.
