Betray not this body of mine
Hold sweet the ravages of time
As too, a diamond deep within the earth's embrace
The brilliance of light within this heart to place
Heed well the call of soul's desire
Jewels of passion's beckoning fire
Facets cut in reflections be they of time
Chambers of light held within this heart mine
In adornment be held the grace of light ever dear
And banished be the pain and the shadows of fear
The pulsing echoes of this heart be they heard
Revelations of light within THE WORD
Spirit's expression in this body beyond conceal
The ALL of light in TRUTH and PRAISE reveal
Betray not this body of mine
Hold sweet the ravages of time.
