AN EVERLASTING RITUAL by ROSE NOLLER

First Line: I SEARCH, WHILE SAILING WATERS, FOR A LIGHT
Last Line: THAT BLENDS A BLESSED EVERLASTING RITUAL!

I search, while sailing waters, for a light,
While sensing dangerous depths beneath me bound,
And marvel at this meaning, without sound,
Where souls through time and space again unite.
I feel as if your very strings were fire
Upon which the fragrant night plays tenderly;
Around your head, a halo hidden slenderly
As if to hint a still diviner spire:

You who thought love a disconnected thing,
You shall hear laughter without comparison;
With hate, the sacrificial offering,
You shall see myriads ripple into one;
And waiting like a smile, the last obitual,
That blends a blessed everlasting ritual!
