A Saint's Treasure

Life begins with a snap of the fingers,
And ends with the subtle snuff of a flame,
A fantastic duel of love and life,
The dance of death unites us all.

Young and slender,
Entrancing and angelic,
Coursing with everlasting life,
She is a radiant diamond in a valley of rocks.

Dark turns to light,
Hell becomes Heaven,
Death changes into life,
All because of this dream gem.

Life may begin with a snap of the fingers,
And end with the subtle snuff of a flame,
But it's completely worth it,
To get a glimpse of that splendid saint's treasure again.
