Hermetic

her·met·ic (adjective)1. (of a seal or closure) complete and airtight. "a hermetic seal that ensures perfect waterproofing"
2of or relating to an ancient occult tradition encompassing alchemy, astrology, and theosophy.
Airtight, all wrapped up.
Or...a single, true theology
present in all religions
given by God to man.
Thirty minutes of reading
of Hermes Trismegistus
and his ilk yields minimal grasp,
insufficient understanding.
But how lovely the idea of recovery
hermetically sealed, all wrapped up,
preserved to fight off all...
how appealing a gift, unmerited,
requiring no struggle. 
But isn't that what we have?
No matter which god
(goddess, power, being, spirit)
a single, true belief
set out in twelve simple steps
no matter which god
but open to all, true within all,
the truth, serenity, love
all wrapped up
hermetically sealed
as long as we protect
that seal.
