Praises to seven glorified saints and to the holy men in jubilationWho faithfully carried the cross upon their backs in consecration.Singing sacred chants of holy praises to the almighty in exaltation And the seven spirits began to circle the altar seven times seven in unification.miraculously seven golden chained thuribles appeared in ornamentation for the ceremonial purification of hot coals and hyssop incense That filled the church with the sweet fragrance. of hope and salvation

There are spacing and grammatical issues as well. Specifically, spacing after the periods. After jubilation there is no space or punctuation before "Who faithfully..."unification.miraculously" is also poor grammar. I feel as though not much thought went into actually making this look and feel like a poem. It simply looks like you threw a bunch of words on the wall and said the hell with revisions. Just sayin... edited by RecoveryWise on 12/27/2020 -- Rob
