calmly
vanquish
through
salvation

Oh, yes! It is a struggle and a challenge to create something meaningful with limited word choices. I struggle too, but it's also fun! :)

Thanks Evelyn. The magnetic words can be quite challenging to find a theme and then with just those words something that has some poetical might.
