Stained Glass

We see his quiet gentle face Unchanging throughout time Transfixed today in colored space Depicted in his prime And with a loving mournful gaze From pensive eyes of white and blue He gazes down on mankind’s maze Through beautiful mosaicked hues From the brilliance of the sun That the polished sand reflects Midst the prisms our pure one Ne’er a little one rejects From a constant fragile place In our souls his rays do pass From his red our sin erased May our hearts be like stained glass Trinity Church, Boston 3.5.18

May our hearts be like stained glass indeed, See through and transparent as the delicate mixture of nature's very best, Let us give thanks for our eyes, for without them we could not see, thank you for sharing.
