\ndesire to Create
\nthat Beauty of a
\nThing You\u2019d offer
\nUs, as a
\nGift wrapped in
\nYour flesh and bone,<\/p>\n

when that Spark
\nburst into Light,
\nYou carefully
\nhid it from
\ncurious eyes,
\nimagining that
\nYou alone
\nwould labor with
\nLove,<\/p>\n

to handcraft it
\ninto Something
\nWe would receive
\nwith as much
\nfervor as You
\nbreathed into it.<\/p>\n

That You imagined
\nYou were hiding
\nLove\u2019s Labor
\nis a fountain
\nof mirth,<\/p>\n

where Love has
\na million
\nmarvelling Minions,
\ncall them
\nAngels or
\nBeings of Light,
\nhiding in
\nplain sight
\nas Your neighbors,<\/p>\n

a Secret Society of
\nYour Fellow Creators,
\nwith lifetimes
\nspent
\nadmiring
\nYour Work.<\/p>\n
