Water into wine

Can two wounded souls, united by the Trinity,

ever find the answer

to how discordant notes can swell

into a symphony

that restores all hearts,

cleaving as one, man and woman,

For nuptial bliss wrought from agony?

The bitter with the sweet is what refines the palate,

brings flavour to experience,

transforming blah into extraordinary.

But fidelity taken lightly exudes a frangible warmth

While unforgiveness and reconciliation

make unlikely bedfellows.

Relationships at risk must undergo metanoia*.

Faith, hope and love will prevail

through darkness and multi-varied deaths.

For Commandments keep us safe,

when Confusion rules the day.

We choose the narrow path

to taste the wine at Cana,

The best - at last! - is only what we deserve.

Believe.

* The Greek term for repentance, metanoia, denotes a change of mind, a reorientation, a fundamental transforma­tion of outlook, of an individual's vision of the world and of her/himself, and a new way of loving others and the Universe. Taken from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metanoia
