The vigour in the calmness
And vastness in the limit
The clear message of silence
And brute strength under the sweet
The words said with lips unmoved
And music from sound unstruck
The dance moves that still feet grooved
And stares unmet that love struck
The resilience that faith brings
And assurance that hope gives
The confidence that trust rings
And vacance when desire leaves
The joy in a deed selfless
And tears rolled in cause unknown
The saint’s love in blissfulness
And wild trance of devotion
Lives that lived a fulfilled day
Placebo or process say?!
In this maze where lost most stay
Exuberance shows the way!
