Divinity divine, holy light.
One lives with a human grace,
The other soars, beyond the place.

Humanity earthly, bound by time,
Divinity sacred, a celestial rhyme.
One breathes with a worldly might,
The other ascends, out of sight.

Divinity infinite, a boundless plan.

The other transcends, time and space.

One decays with passing years,
The other lives, beyond fears.

In their balance, contemplate.
