Mar 2016
After the long meaningless hysterics
And lengthy broodings on the historics
What once fought for its life now yields with less bitterness
What once thought it was on its own, now asks for help

So, on the river bank she sits, eyes closed
Shaking terribly, for love, for thorns
Indeed, a hundred thousand thorns she carries
Thank God, indeed, for the Comforter's Song

Whatever trembles in fear
Surrender them to me
The holy bath of the eternal is fire
And out of my gentle fire is your light freed


Your vision as yet is faint and weak
So hold my hand, and ask me for the way
I can never tire of you, and I can never tire of your asking


Your feet are weary from your long pointless travels
So let me carry you, and together we'll extend miracles
And leap through space and time


Your heart is in pain from the thorns you keep
Let me take your precious thorns
So you may see light dancing all around you
As I do


Whatever trembles in fear
Leave not one unsurrendered
You need them not
And love you truly need.


**Never will I leave you;
Never will I forsake you.
Lines in bold are from Heb 13:5.
