Silver Enlightenment
21 August 2006

Time has passed, since your
face has shined upon the screen
The brightness of your eyes
those colours combined and their sheen

Time being a clock, a tick tock
Just to look into your heart
to capture the wisdom inside
To look at your happiness and understanding
away from that darkness, as hidden away to preside

Time is your age, your star upon the sky
your heart beating in a rhythm
Every sense of salvation given
Time was your faith, your dealings of God
another moment to pause and feel
the spirit, the element of your light

That Easter morning of sacrifice
nails upon fingers, colours on toes
A web of enchantment, this beauty He gave
Christ your Saviour, Christ, your man in need
Time enlightened, by your face upon the silver screen


“If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver:
and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.”
Song of Solomon 8: 9 KJV
