Boon Now Bane
White swan pair in majestic quietude
Gliding on lake waters in contentment
Engrossed in togetherness solitude
Are joyous in their native element
At end of days, musing on gift of life
The power of reason, once boon now bane
We dwell in dark dungeons, given to strife
Deludedly measuring loss and gain
Fleeting is life, yet we are blind to light
God essence; our divinity within
Counsel of conscience steers us to path right
Enslaved by desire, we indulge in sin
Take back, dear God, power of our free will
We will be still, as voids within You fill
