You brought us the whole world back inside you.
Burst every blocked road
and what a wonderful life it has become!
Those years when everything became strong and clear
and the wilderness came back with the speed of life
and everything shouted … live it!
I stormed out and looked at you
Yes, to see you melt the winter’s sadness
Yes, I’m out on the green meadows.
You are warm and bright and full of radiance
and your kingdom is as pure as gold
like the sun – hidden for too long.
Now flowers open and I looked
that now as the sky became big and blue
and the moment is born to joy.
Your hand was so hot and good
and you became beautiful and full of courage
so beautiful I had to cry.
Our lord invited to the party
and kissed every single guest
in love’s mighty halls
with eyes, wondering and blue
we just look and look and looked
and swallowed the speech of life:
That life is worth living
in spite of doubt and great difficulty
in spite of the pain there,
and love is and will be
and whatever the whole world say,
the force that feeds the speed of life in our hearts.
A faith-centered poem of affirmation.
A splendid poetic tour-de-force!
Jan…Speed of life…could feel the sunshine and warmth !!
