There you are, smack in the middle of life -
House, job, debt, bills, passion, purpose, wife;
Immersed in love, in every moment love,
Regardless how the mundane hours might move,
Tedium that crawls its way towards night,
Yet is, like all else, lit by holy light.

Fear not, for your world is full of beauty,
In every turn of fate, in every duty,
Vested deep within your heart and mind,
Etched into the water and the wind.
