Under the portents of the fixed star "Sheat,"*
Malefic "Sheat," dogging the "Titanic's" course,
Maritime notoriety to...

Then it would be futile for me to begin
Discussing what means the most to me

My God Is Love
Are we mystical beings? the child asked me.
Theological question given to thee.
How do I answer? I have nothing to hide.
My true response lies deeply way down inside.
