despite everything
no matter
frightful time
even enlightened
or what
brilliant dreams
or when
sublimely divine
despite life
hard times
all those
righteous challenges
that have 
simply lived
managing over
given time
still everyone
first born
then lived
despite everything
then died
no matter
just how
we came
to be
or even where
whether crawling
perhaps we
treasured flying
every noble calling
still all this vying
even worldly air
we all breathe
is oddly neither
just yours
nor mine
despite what
trying views
anyone's mind
might think
despite all
this worldly
populace gain
still earthly
lordly refrain
those real problems
our modern pain
all this tragic
sustained suffering
how can we
solve enough
beyond all this
buffered rough
fairy tale magic
something that
truly matters
such precious
elementary gifts
all this air
all this water
so we might
breathe life
here we are
drinking revelation
God so willing
this earthly
blessed incarnation
breathing sacred
blessed air
drinking holy
blessed water
such precious
earthly wisdom
despite everything
our errors in judgement
this blessed garden
divine elements
relevant consummation
fulfilling ardent
spiritual elevation
