Life in color.

Breathe in the Light – By David Montgomery
Wake up,
Breathe in life,
sift through the still warm ashes,
pale lights flicker,
to unending brightness.
We are alive in the world,
we breathe and reach,
our hands tiny and fragile,
our fingers unable to reach heaven,
as we gasp for air in the cold first air of light,
and if we let it slip,
we could slip into an eternal night,
and in the darkness,
a hand reaches down from above,
grasping and calling our name,
before we slip away-
lost in endless spires of fire and sulpher,
Yet we are, born again as if in dream,
escaping death,
with the smell of smoke still lingering,
upon our ragged clothes.
Born again, sealed.
Made holy, made whole.
D. Montgomery (C) 2010
