Holiness is never wholly holy.
All is all - an angel or a flea,
Loved and deeply cherished equally,
Loved as though all love embraced them only.
One is just as sacred as a gnat,
Well loved, just as well loved as a thief,
Existing far beyond one's joy or grief,
Embraced by love that dances past belief.
Nor does one need more than the thought of that.
