using embers to make fire – v3

a holy alchemy, of love divine

using embers to make fire

kindling the harvest

from the dying, living,

offering their gifts

given unto You,

for Your purpose

being salt to the earth

holy living embers

touching new lives

a harvest in a future unknown

seeds gathered, seeds sown

sown seeds in the soil

life burning bright

from the embers kindled

for a harvest unknown
