Light Breaking
digital painting for the poem "Hope of Glory Within Us"
Hope of glory within us
Broader than the words,
Uncontained by all the images
And sound bites flowing,
In our hands and on our laps;
Broader than the words,
Uncontained by all the images
And sound bites flowing,
In our hands and on our laps;
Hope of glory within us
You are mostly unknown
Outside the lines and fences
Drawn upon the land
And faces of the masses.
You are mostly unknown
Outside the lines and fences
Drawn upon the land
And faces of the masses.
Hope of glory within us
Create the realm arising
For life beyond our smallness
That light may burn away
Belligerent walls of static illusion.
Create the realm arising
For life beyond our smallness
That light may burn away
Belligerent walls of static illusion.
Hope of glory within us
Lit in these circumstances
By sparks from the outside
Limitless expanse,
Birth us to that Newness.
Lit in these circumstances
By sparks from the outside
Limitless expanse,
Birth us to that Newness.
Hope of glory within us
Chip away the rock
Hard darkness
Which blinds us
To the freedom beyond.
Chip away the rock
Hard darkness
Which blinds us
To the freedom beyond.
