Baptism
Life is frail
And death is rigid
Breaking a soul’s silence
Where crying shadows are frigid
Providence gathers
In the beating halls of hallow hearts
Eternity incensed
As flickering candles echo in the dark
Evil portends
When motherhood begins
Life blesses death
And holy fathers sterilize sin
