When Love Wept

Join me on a journey back through time,
Way before the episode at Lazarus’ tomb,
Very close to the beginning of a beautiful story,
In the perfect garden, where all things should have been rosy,

“Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side…”;

“Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side…”?
One ordinary-seeming day, Love wept…unshed tears.

A divine spark merged with an earthen work of art
In a mystery beyond unravelling though born in Light.

It’s laden with dust and hidden out of sight;
But out of sight, is a dangerous place to be.
