Lamplight
 |
| (Found here) |
that’s how the word of the Lord
describes the spirit of a man.
And looking at my father
sunken into his deathbed
I sense and see the truth of it.
Now his spirit has returned
(a little ruined, a lot redeemed)
to the Lord who gave it,
how dark it is, his body,
how utterly given over
to bleakness and blackness,
its lamplight all extinguished.
~Andrew Lansdown
