Poem: Tears of Radiance (haiku in 12 variations) + video

Serene Grace, , 
Tears of Radiance 

We’re never alone
God’s with us in our struggles 
Feels our loneliness 

Tears never wasted
Yea tho we walk through shadows
God breathes within us

As Holy Spirit
Within our body temple
We’re guided by hope

With us from the start
On this journey we call life
He witnessed it all

Our souls know the truth
Our bodies will fade like dreams
We’re everlasting 

He’ll wipe our tears clean
Wash us free of all our fears
God will call us home

All the pain is gone
Well done, my faithful servant
Welcome back, beloved

The battle’s been won
On the cross, it was finished 
Jesus died for us

Peace and Grace and Love
God’s word’s the sweetest music
Save it in your heart 

Tears of gratitude 
Overcome death’s depression 
This life’s a mirage

Mere seconds of grief
Reunited with loved ones
Renewed young again

On that joyful day
Hallelujah and Amen
Tears of radiance

    1. Thank you, Sylvester! Amen 💖🙏 God’s grace is wonderful, I wish more people could understand what is being offered, completely free, but too many throw the gift away 😔. Blessings always to you, my friend🙂
