Today's word is "panoply" ... PAN-uh-plee ... a wide-ranging and impressive array or display. (dictionary.com)
One
In the panoply of holidays,
All around this earth,
There is no other anywhere,
That promises new birth.
There are those who say that we,
All turn into one spirit,
And those who say renouncing all,
Will calm the ones that hear it.
Some say there is nothing,
In the whole universe,
That we are all self-sufficient,
And that there is no curse.
But within us we all know,
Is the will to do well,
And the answering refusal,
That says, indeed, we all fell.
What saves us from ourselves is this,
That God himself has died,
Yet Frees us fully by his grace,
To stay close by his side.
