Limitless Mystery in light and dark
Created dry land to define cool streams
God said, “Separate. Distinguish. Name.”
While Spirit ceremoniously wed
In vibrant tension, differences meshed
Creation’s seeds labored in birth
Earth’s colors made absurdities new
As it’s holy pages I turned
Then my counterparts begged to wed
And display their ludicrous palette anew
Fear said, “Separate. Distinguish. Judge.”
While Presence called my full name
From mosaic structures of contrasts within
A lively fountain of hope springs up
As I let go of who I was
To find whom I’d always been
I am night and I am day
Streams flow through my desert land
Seeds to trees, under which I bask
As I consider tension, friend
