Torch

From dancing to free-falling
With strength already spent,
The signal fire of victory
Becomes a torch for the descent.

When do the depths take over?
When does darkness eat the light?
What is left but sleeping
When surrounded by the night?

Sundance throught the lattice
Opens forward-looking eyes.
Sundance on the water
Calls me to rise and come outside.

Strong, like Sun above,
Soft, like mother's love.



Ps. 139:8
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

Is. 50:10
Who among you fears the LORD
and obeys the word of his servant?
Let him who walks in the dark,
who has no light,
trust in the name of the LORD
and rely on his God.

John 1:4, 5.9a, 14
In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness....The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world....
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Rom. 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


What a thought: God carries a torch for us when we've fallen out of love with our own existence, from which we can reignite!
