Breath in quiet flame
Dummy vowels whisper soft Moses listens close Chagall paints the breath On the burning bush's top Unconsumed beat stays Quiet light within Dances through the body's pores Moses takes off his sandals Jesus on the cross
Asks why, with no true answer Empty tomb echoes Cross on Jesus points
To suffering I cling to Empty cross awaits |
