Unity In Diversity 1

 

The first three left you behind

Hundredfold

The next

Three

You left behind

Hundredfold

It cancels each other out

One plus one is one

Right? Right.

Two left

Two remained

Hundredfold

Now something remained

A well growing deeper

Full of water

Fresh and clear

Left lands behind

Hundredfold

Left home behind

Hundredfold

Persecutions. Got.

Eternal Life. Received.

Hundredfold

The first became last

But something remains

Of clay

Wood

Silver

Thirtyfold

 

Unity In Diversity 2

 

Samson is waiting

His hair growing back

Blind but his arms wrapped stretched out

Around the pillars

Crucified

Waiting

To pull them down

And bring in the light

Will the last become first again?

 

The birds come and go

Sit on the branches

Some shit on the branches

Shelter in its branches

In its cool and shade

The river runs, unendingly, nearby

The tree grows

Its roots deepen

Waiting for

The smell of mustard to fill

The air

To bear the fruit

That lasts

In its season

Every season

Eternal

Infinite.
