Song of Sacrifice

Our song of sacrifice must rise beyond

The temporal to fill the halls of time,

And gratitude in simple concert lift

The human spirit nearer the divine,

Each moment in this mortal life become

A hymn of offering, a chant of love,

Joy's chorale that calls the soul in us

To orchestrate the movements of our lives

And harmonize the discords of our being.

Music now a tool of mental make

Must wake to harmonies and strains unheard

Descending in the silent cavern space.
