Living Water, the Stain of His Blood

The altar this morning draped,
brightened by living water,
by the royal stain of His blood
vivid shimmering color, textured, flowing
beside the open bible,
below the cross, the lighted candles
a mere hint of the grandeur
the hem, the robe of the creator,
filling the temple
