the world changes today

[wake up wake up - you're dying]

the world changes today

the colours move from dark to light

from purple to gold

from black to white

as light creeps out into the world

new light

and new world.

and it slides and slithers into the dawn

burnishing it with golds

and honeys

and caramel

and butterscotch

sliding out to touch everything

the world changes today

hope skims across the world

like fingers of dawn-light

spilling over,

offering a truth

a possibility

something to trust

for those who have no trust left.

a remolding of life

a word of love

a source of peace

sweeping out into all the world

in heaven’s name

the world changes today

love tumbles into the world again

reborn

fresh from death

never to die again.

like sunlight flitting across the morning

love cradles creation

and holds it anew

never to let go

offering a way

and a word

and a God,

drifting out, tangling with life

changing it in every touch

the world changes today

life throws itself at the world

missing no one,

living within every moment

every opportunity

every hope

every chance

every move

and like the spilling of light into the dawn,

it overflows

and gushes

in yellows

and golds

lighting up

and lifting high

the gift of heaven

for the world
