Theory of Solution

Madam, long ago
I asked what's stonger than love
Do you recall: pride.

Satan had it so
There was no traction for love
In truth: God is love

Pride dissolves all faith
For it is the solvent of the soul
Where faith's anchor holds

Love can conquer still
For the soul surrendered stays
Too cold: in crystals

Crystals make jewels
For the throne, there God still reigns
Pure as only love
