The Mourn of Sacred

~I ’m blessed by my mourn…
        released from strife’s scorn…
             I am by grace comforted…
                  in Love‘s sacred kiss…
                       thus torn, I gain bliss…
                            my sorrow thus aborted...

~though death claims a face…
         mourn is sacred grace…
              alone by the throne, I find…
                   sorrow dissipates...
                        vacates, sacred gates...
                             sacred mourn is peace divine...

~death where is thy sting...
        borne of human fling...
             only thoughts by humans wrought... 
                  arise from disguise...
                       of human devise...
                            by mourn the sacred is sought 

                            For and in Honor of Nette Onclaud
                           “ALOUETTE, Your Cleansing rite

Good luck in the contest with this interesting work..I especially like the last stanza first two lines..We can cheat the grave of holding us through accepting the saving grace of Jesus..Reads like winning material to me..Thanks so much for the honor of placing in the winners' circle in your contest...Sara
