We Say, We Believe
(maybe it’s Revelation 23)
x
God is love
The metaphor
Reality
So much better than
God is gold
Even
God is power
Though God is both
The metaphor
Reality
x
God made the gold, at least
And also power
Power lent
To us
And in the Earth
Inherent
x
Borrowing
And legacy
That’s not our own
No matter how many times
We name another name
x
We do not last
Not on our own
And everything on Earth
That was our own
Is naught
So that when everything’s renewed
There will no monuments
Except the living
In a city
Where the temple
Is a person
And water is provided
That’s life-giving
