Acknowledgement.......

Astounded by thy glory, captive to thy beauty ;

Murdered by thy radiance, bewitched by thy eyes ;

Sedated by thy lips, Enriched by thy laughter ;

Reborn in thy brilliance, reloved in thy love ;

Nourished by thy presence, diminished by thy absence ;

Saddened by thy sorrow, Joyed by thy beatitude ;

Rejuvenated by thy voice, rekindled by thy fire ;

To my disparaged soul thy life, brings life ;

To my tethered world, thy feathers bring flight ;

To my death, thy blood brings breath ;

Thee be given by Lord, to me and my tattered strife ;

Thee be given by Lord, to bring this dying soul to life......
