And however deflated
We might sometimes be,
Either by our own frailties
Or the cruelty of others,
- Inviolate -
At the core of our being,
The very prism 
Of sanctity and self remains.

And latent there,
The quick silvered opportunity
Of redemption,
To become enchanted again.

Sublime moments refracted,
Even if only for seconds, 
Caught forever in your soul.
