…reminds me of:

April 5, 2006

There was light
You said it, and it was,
In my darkness,
Your echoing brightness.
You pursue and persuade.
You convict and detain.
You destroy and re-make.
You release and enslave,
‘til all that remains is:

BEAUTY (Your beauty enchanting.)
FIRE (Your fire engulfing.)
MERCY (Your mercy restoring.)
LIFE (Your life exploding.)

There was death.
You said “It’s finished” and it was.
The end of “the end,”
the beginning of life:
You embody and invade.
You instruct and demonstrate.
You forsee and lead the way.
You die and live again
and leave in your wake:

BEAUTY (Your beauty enchanting.)
FIRE (Your fire engulfing.)
MERCY (Your mercy restoring.)
LIFE (Your life exploding.)

Your spirit moved
across the deep, it moves today.
Inside our lives
You clean and pry the death away.
You pursue and persuade.
You convict and detain.
You destroy and re-make.
You release and enslave,
‘till all that remains is:

BEAUTY (Your beauty enchanting.)
FIRE (Your fire engulfing.)
MERCY (Your mercy restoring.)
LIFE (Your life exploding.)
