The Honey Scented Soul

A scent
Honey rent
From its wax comb
The soul torn from its home
Love’s sacrifice gives its flavor
Generates faith’s aromatic savor
As the soul is cleansed in matter’s brazier
Removing doubt’s bitter flavor
And frees the soul to roam
Through its true home
Its banquet
A scent
