8/6".. But the greatest of these is love."
Seek and you will find
That which is one of a kind Some kindle for your fire
Fulfillment of your hearts desires
The city takes hold as sirens blare
Its about whats in ones heart and not what they wear
Like a tree sheds its leaves
In the end

Cloud-puffball, torn tufts, tossed pillows | flaunt forth, then chevy on an air-
Built thoroughfare: heaven-roysterers, in gay-gangs | they throng; they glitter in marches.
Down roughcast, down dazzling whitewash, | wherever an elm arches,

God of severe mercy, like Job, eventually I will lose everything — whatever treasures I have, my family, my health, my life. This bitter reality challenges my core motives: why am I following you? Who am I living this life for? Yet in this I rest: I belong to you, come what may. Amen.
Stagger onward rejoicing;
And even then if, perhaps
Having actually got
To the last col, you collapse
With all Atlantis shining

Even to have been allowed
Just to peep at Atlantis
In a poetic vision:
Give thanks and lie down in peace,
Having seen your salvation.
