The Sky Tears Asunder

Reckless Abandon for a Redeemed Love

The Sky Tears Asunder

Tim Holt

The sky tears asunder,

Green paths beneath scarlet trees,

Sunlight glancing through

Fractures in the scarlet patterns.

The sky tears asunder,

Bare feet seeking unknown paths,

Scarlet leaves descending to Earth,

His bare chest its landing.

The sky tears asunder,

Wandering eyes seeking, ever seeking,
A voice on wind, A shadow in mist,

A terrible beauty, A heart indecisive.

The sky tears asunder,

Haunting beauty descends from the soul,

Her graces masked in sin,

In blindness, In passion, In lust.

The sky tears asunder,

Velvet eyes fall upon his prizing,

A wedding dress lost in decay,

A beauty with eyes of lilac darkness.

The sky tears asunder,

Scarred hands join and entwine,

Revealing only in heart,

A desperation hungering in forgiveness.

The sky tears asunder,

Eutopian purpose found in itself,

Uncontained hope arising

Of mouths that do not share.

The sky tears asunder,

Majestic king from Heaven's mystery

Descends to our lovers,

Silence radiating from the scarlet patterns.

The sky tears asunder,

Healing hands laid, Grace undying bestowed,

All knowing eyes, Wisdom entwined,

Terribly wondrous , Gloriously breathtaking.

The sky tears asunder,

Scarlet leaves fly, encasing Love,

Radiant white daring sunlight,

Breathtaking beauty unmatched restored.

The sky tears asunder,

Passionate lips meet, wondrous, unmatched,

What sought now discovered,

What requested now delivered.

The sky tears asunder,

Green paths beneath scarlet trees,

Sunlight glances through

Fractures on the scarlet patterns.
