Polyagapi̱ménos

To see you is to watch kindness erupt in a kaleidoscope of colors.

To hear you is to flow with gentle waves that caress the shore ever so lightly.

To embrace you is to be warmed by dancing flames of purity.

To be near you is to inhale humility's pleasing aroma.

To sit with you is to taste of the honor reaped from arduous seasons of pruning.

There is beauty adorning the head of the one who wears the garments of wisdom.

There is majesty sustaining the one who bathes in the stillness of assurance.

There is holiness emanating from the one who burns with righteous desire.

There is thanksgiving filling the one who feasts upon the words of life.

There is glory bestowed upon the one who waits patiently for good returns.

A stirring is happening here; a new thing begun in a moment that sparked life into wearied eyes.

A growing is happening here; a laying of brick by brick upon the sturdy foundation years in the making. A fortifying is happening here; a strength formed out of weakness that stands sufficient against the storm.

A renewing is happening here; a restoration of things long ago determined void in the shadow of defeat.

A rejoicing is happening here; a uniting of strings in perfect harmony creating a song of power and praise.
