UnphasedI am one who carries love
who also carries grief
I hold life’s many phases
like the moon engulfed in shadow

And yet stoops low to cradle the sparrow in His hand.
Who is like the One who carved mountains with a whisper,
Yet stitched lilies with more care than kings...

Whether you walk or crawl.

Each step leaves a trace, in soft grains of gold.
Through shadows of ages, our journeys entwine,
In the dance of existence, our footprints...
