The Hem of the Robe – v6

Like shafts of light, living ribbon
captured by the hands of God
woven together, a fabric;
sheets of flowing luminous light
of holy cascading color
shimmering, alive, within itself
like a wall of falling water
a curtain of silent thundering rain

so must the hem of his robe have been
filling His Temple on earth
with smoke, with color, with living presence
flowing down from his heavenly throne
down from high above, alive
connecting us to the divine
Filling the temple with light
filling your temple with love
