His Only to Proclaim

26 May 2006


Twas this sacrifice
a death not to lament
Punishment already taken
a man the prisoner of his own child

Who would know, what was to care
blood, or liaison, without to give
Time but a decade, a decimal to leave
back was behind, forth was thunder

That night of the story, no karma to birthright
faraway from harm, nor harm to gain
She was not alone, her heart still beating
enkindled, the ignition another light

That lamp burning in the window
each flame deflecting yellow to blue
Her reflection a mirror, where love did dwell
No sacrifice greater, charity His only to proclaim


“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from
glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 3: 18 KJV
