The Offering


"The people will come to your light,
and Kings to the brightness of your Rising"
-Isaiah 60:3

~~

Burned

Utterly Consumed

Ashes

Alter empty of All-that-was
The body that held
Life,
Love,
Breath

Fed, Mercifully,
to Flame

Now Spirit, Caught Fire,
Can Burn,
No longer suffocated,
starved of Air,

~~ It Rises ~~

Engulfed in this Gorgeous Fiery Light,
Flesh burns away in a few painful hours,
But Spirit is Fuel for Eternity,
Spent like the Sun,

For The Son

A Lamp
For All who are lost,
Lovely Luminary Shining

For Worlds upon Worlds,

Showing

Weary Warriors,
Languishing Lovers,
and Every Precious Prodigal,

The Way to go Home

~~

"Those who would be Light
Must endure Burning."
-Dr. Viktor Frankl
