Embrace
Earthly affairs attend each day;
Make what you will of toils and pains;
Browse as you stare with heart that plays;
Restore fond thrill in tact that gains;
Apply fine write in art that swirls;
Choose to sustain the path you take;
Employ and cite the cause of whirls.
Prosper and gain with moves you make;
Align your choice with steadfast voice;
Trust zest to firm zeal in sure stride;
Truth wears a poise that ignores noise;
Enforce a germ as wit turns tides;
Remind your face to know its place;
Nudge healing grace as love fills trace.
