Is this life all fire and brimstone?

How crudely my heart is chipped-away

Imprisoned elaborately, carved like bone.

Lord, is my poor soul, its stowaway?

Does it form some, sort of Fabergé egg?

Shaped by all these torments of hell

Most of my life has been statuesque

Lord, who will finally break its shell

… All our prayers with you & yours.
