Riddle#23 Sacred

Sacred

The bass is sacred
swimming swiftly
like a streak;
free to be
silver-
gills a-sparkle!

Recovery

Abusive taskmasters
dominate;
enforce
hegemony.
They render us
worthless.
Below
elemental.

The God of Peace and Righteousness
elevates
by
gentle calm:
tranquility.
He values us
to gold,
above stones, iron
brass and silver.

Up
we rise,
from mineral
to iron
to metal
to lustre.
Polished
by His grace.
