May the Spirit use Her alchemy
to make your orisons,
diamonds,
lavished at the feet of Divinity.
May the Spirit use Her alchemy
to make your praise songs,
strings of golden threaded pearls
draping the red velvet
arm rests of the Throne.
May the Spirit use Her alchemy
to make,
for your Hajj
toward surrender
of will
to Will,
a shimmering
amber, sapphire, emerald, ruby,
rainbow,
lighting your pilgrim path
through eternity.
