Shattered Light

out of the void comes light
liquid white
and it is good
graceful and effortless

form pours forth

love’s tears of joy or sorrow
radiate ever downwards
noiseless and nimble
passing through the prism
of rainbows for tomorrow

hoary glow silvers in the wake
scatters satin linings over new clouds

twisting then the way of dark expression
toward mankind

en masse humanity

stained glass images lie shattered
cracked
strewn over cold marble floors
and swept into dark corners
calamity waits in shadow

light hides out in exile
extinguished
in absence of color
faith tattered
spark in the eye

gone like one forgotten

stars fall on dead men walking
day and night spirits defeated cry

save me for I am blind

majesty turns pride inside out
beams that cannot be swallowed
sucking truth back into existence
hurling down to the black hole
all things rotten

hush

listen to the rustling prayer
flashings of feathered wing
muses rousing to revelation

the crooks of darkness
exposed at first  light

walls fall down with a shout
of bright resistance

stained glass images dapple white across
the purified and shining land
then we shall wake up and dance
by the word
spoken
Lord
