The soul’s necessity
Carved in the very depths of humanity
one finds a desire for sublimity and eternity
so to partake in a supernatural reality
through whom all things are made in glory
From him, through him and in him all things are,
holding space and time in one regard,
sustaining all of the living from within and from afar,
pronouncing Love’s arrival as the Bethlehem star
on one’s knees in the quiet of the night
like fire purifying needles in the sunlight
ready to pluck and settle harmful flaws aright
all necessary to gaze in holiness at the ineffable
NDLR: Ce poème décrit ces moments sublimes où le sacré se répand sur notre humanité, répondant à notre soif d'éternité. "A genoux, dans le silence de la nuit"... cette rencontre se raconte comme une nécessaire confrontation à la lumière qui nous permet de plonger notre regard sur l'indicible.
