October 1984

by living

death is left

behind

its shadows fleeing

from the light of glory

bolts of hate

flung in despair

of their

defeat

(no agony here)

stay

but are soon

overwhelmed

by the blinding light of love

that knows no end

healing all pain

restoring life

giving love

(no agony here

either)

death is removed

for life

eternally

life shall be our lot

God shall be our love
