Intellect
and reason ...
bridesmaids of the soul
Where faith weds
to hope ...
salvation’s bell tolls
Free will
as gifted
the essence of man
Inviting
transcendence
— God’s grace to command

Kurt, this feels both devotional and philosophical in the best sense. The marriage imagery woven through faith, hope, intellect, and salvation gives the poem cohesion without overcomplicating it. And the movement into free will and transcendence at the close opens the reflection outward beautifully. Thoughtful and resonant work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks, I was listening to Kristofferson as I wrote it.
