Leaves rust on branches
A hope of expectation
Ashes steal the light
Child's silent shadow
A threshold of hidden grace
Perish on the edge
Moment of your truth
Crackled and burned around me
All born to perish
Hope veiled in heaven
Rumor of freedom wings flight
In love’s gracious eyes.
(Therefore receive one
another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God – Romans 15:7)
