This love
draws me nearer to Thee, Beloved,
my heaving heart
beating for the sake of light alone,
the night dispelled
from cold command
with one glance
of your piercing sight
which set my soul afire
-embers glowing deep within
like angel-wings aspiring
In grace I face my sudden death
from life in sin-
in unawareness.
Verily,
God is good.
