what is to give light must endure burning

By Corinthian










Tips of the sea
standing
by day
and night soil






he thunders.



moved from the air
to restore
the sound
like a bowl of the world



not like a
crying.





virgin
injured
increasing her light
by his
hands which
were pierced
through with nail






Ainsi soit-il




for that which
falls highest suffers
most

disappointment
and
misery


child of
gentle mind
you rain me in the eyes



before whom
are all the created
ones
and the uncreated






whose eyes saw
the non-existent world
and whose ears listen
to every creature.

before they even exist







you
who have
been
tortured
and amazed
my heart is sore.






+



.the footprints
blanket
ignores to feel




I die
to
want to live.

    He thunders, but previously you gave me the lightning. Beautiful.

  • A former member wrote: You live now, do you not? So far beyond us. This is all true, Sister, "for that which falls highest suffers most". Inspiration, this. Inspiration into continuance. You died wanting to live. He will know that deep inside as he rises high without you. He will know.

    Perhaps this asks where does life come from, and what went before in its stead, when only the spirit existed in uncorporeal form? Lovely and the pierced hands of healing was marvelous too, thanks Cori!
