swaying in southern breeze
how can we forget you
Emmanuel
soaked in red life of every human
we cannot forget the grace flowing from your wounded heart
a storm assailed
deceptively deathly
but love prevailed in engulfing embrace
baptizing out of death
resurrection into lifetransforming
o Emmanuel
peaceful ocean breath
refresh
savor salted memory in wake of violent hate
grace showering love
washing
soaking
buoyed above in Emmanuel's love
God is here
in charleston
in evil's tragedy
shot through, and through and through and through and through and through and through and through and through
by every missile wounded
by every tear soaked
out of the storm
flowers reach for Blue
planted by Love
colours of black red brown yellow white
entangled in embrace
more appear every day
the soil watered with bloodtears
tilled by thousands of mourning hopeful feet
tended by compassion
a resilient heart that cries out "i died here, and yet i live here"
what can quench love ..
rhetorical muse
for love is stronger than death
passionate beyond the grave
many waters cannot quench love
nor surging river drown
nor wicked storm purge
what can separate from Love
not death
not demon
not fear
no powers wherever in all creation will ever prevail against It
for Love is God
Love
in whom is no frontier
no wall or boundary
no dividing gulf
Emmanuel
God is with us
for us
in us
how can we forget you ?
