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
