\n 
\nLife a teeming process
\nThat in its constant,
\nCallous churn
\nDelivers but
\nA few brilliant jewels
\nFrom a solid weight
\nOf ossified dreams
\nAnd ashen decay;
\nWithout one,
\nThe other simply cannot be.
\n 
\n 
\nSuch bravery then!
\n 
\n 
\nIn her all too short
\nShining example,
\nThe flawless, fluid grace
\nI had always looked for
\nWas suddenly so obvious.
\n 
\n 
\nAnd then, not long after,
\nThe loveliness came
\nTo make my own life\u2019s transit,
\nFrom that point on,
\nA supreme irrelevance also!
\n 
\n 
\nSuch freedom to shine,
\nThus enlightened.
\n 
\n 
\nFrom that point on,
\nForever dancing
\nIn a glorious shower
\nOf faith and beauty realised.
\n 
\n 
\nBluff and expended\u2013 maybe!
\nBut timelessly agape,
\n 
\n 
\nWhat exquisite rain\u2026<\/strong>
