Elusive—

a whiff in the air

a flash in the night

the sparkle of dew

before it is gone.

•••

Locked—

water beyond guards

gold behind glass

homeland of exiles

who may not return.

•••

The key—

a nail through His hands

my sackcloth and ashes

the balm of chains

unlocking joy.

•••

Ubiquitous—

a feast of day

of brimming rest

the Light unveiling life

as gold.
