August 6th

White light, brighter than bright,
Holy might,
Humanity's transfiguration in to divinity,
God touching protected life
Build on this moment
The truth of who and how and where
Not shelters
Not ancient prophets
But Christ's might
Breath and hope

Bright light brighter than bright
Unholy fright
Humanity disfigured in fear and hate
God weeps at precious life
Torn apart in the moment
The truth of how and who and where
Becomes shelters
Ancient rivalries
Not Christ's might
Awesome dispair.

Leave the mountains
Leave the dragons and the knights 
Plough for sword
Pruning hook for spear
If this enlightened God brings any news
It is a change for life
Common humanity
Touched by divinity and sprung
Not to death in human fight
But life in sight
Of heaven's throne.
