Wondrous Spark
Light breaks water challenge
With the sword of your light
Wondrous spark in the sky
Aureate my walls
When you set and when you rise
Reveal not just the shadows of the past
But the dancing leaves on the path
*
How they wave and say hello
Though they be just shadows on my path
Coruscating be your light,
Flashing and sparkling
On the surface of my tears,
Of my river
Of the seas
Marvelling
*
There’s hope in my tears
As they glitter, as they shimmer
That’s why I laugh at the days to come by the river
When the summer days are long
When the light hits the glass of my white rum
And I drown in my river
And my shards splinter
*
I will no longer be drunk
I will sparkle and shimmer
*
I will not throw stones at the ripples
Until my mind settles
And the tension in my shoulders
Gone
And the wind blows slow
*
Still
Still
White rum
The light will sacrifice the darkness
Until we are left with the one who owns
That
Wondrous spark
Shatter the noise with your light
But keep the silence alive
Still
Still
…
