O! Look! O Precious Life! There are things I can’t 😝say out loud. Instead, I choose to laugh it out loud! LOL

O! My! O Precious Life! A Sure Fire! Sapphire!

To yea one beholds entire desire

Within which —renews—heartless quagmire?!

As grating gropes over gurgling gyres

Ebbing to flow as some embodied empire!

O! My! O Precious Life! A Sure Fire!

As fleeting hope and even more luminous than fire 🔥

You belong to the day and equally to the night totally hired

O! My! O Precious Life! A Sure Fire! Sapphire!

In carrying sails — Is thou oafish a quenchless desire?!

Thirsty, perhaps, for so long is thy mired briar

Yet, in widespread nature, dwelling so, to persistently inspire !

O! My! O Precious Life! A Temperate Fire! Sapphire!

Unto yea, bellying long, are these bounteous spires

As clustered congeries over cloistered choirs

O! My! O Precious Life! A Sure Fire!

O! Must you lie barefoot upon death beds so silently expired

Seemingly dropping a thousand dirges over those deathly pyres

O! My! O Precious Life! As Infernal as a blazing Fire!

But, for the spirit, thickened in dire

It's all an illusion which it pledges not to “forever,”acquire!

O! My! O Precious Life! An Eternal Fire!

For the flesh so camped in rubies, and lodged in sapphires

The work of surpassing all is the ultimate goal gravely desired

O! My! O Precious Life! A Sure Fire!

And post -personified ; waving your final flags as an esquire;

You bid adieus -to everything that transpires...

O Precious Life ! Sapphire! A Sure fire!

Co-concurring— off the hook, as a timely spire...

How upon innocence you gently conspire!

As faith so ardent rolls its' earnetness so dire..

O! My! O Precious Life! Sapphire!
