Limbo

Down into deepest depths of darkness

A sinner found himself in holiest harmony.

Heaven unbends the matters of discontent,

Disgruntled souls lose their own mind.

It's not a path for mortals; it's a new world

Where restarts are justice's salvation. Erased

In the pit of paltriness, irrelevance is a heavy

Burden to bear, an interim before purgatory

Ends, and rectitude earned. Here boils God's stew

Prearranged, rivers of time are meaningless.

To a soul He removes the sins of humans. Come,

The new heaven and new earth awaits the cleansed.
