Belong

Body made of earth
Mortal realms of dust

Tepid truths, disdain

Random infirmities
Grasp at hem

Absolute allusion

Health

Parasite manipulates
Muscle, hopeless flesh

Frailty

Venomous friend

Sight illumined
Darkness falls

Limbs of life
Made to rest

Alas

Breath of life

Restless limbs

Unfathomed sight
Eyes behold

Saviors embrace

Mortal realms
Ashes blown

Renewed in love
Body made for heaven
