Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
Question: By what hand, how, and from
where does this come forth? You and I,
while we are one body and one mind,
as Saint Ephrem said: that within
the beautiful and holy ones in the church and the temple
of the kingdom: in the city of the House of Gabbai,
and in the evening of the day to the night, in love and joy,
at the time when the adornment of the lights of dawn was being carried,
love moved from the heart
to him who separated his brother, and he went out to joy
from the house to him who went out to comfort him;
in the times of Alexander, to preserve
the honor, with other thoughts and with a heart
full of bitterness, I did not wish
to speak about the evil thought,
but rather of the concern, words are spoken that are new,
from the weariness of the body, and in this, you
did not wish for anything, from me to the Father
in whom is life that knows no death,
to Him who is: the righteous and triumphant life,
in which bodies are not sacrificed, but all
life is through human beings who are not spoken of;
from whom comes that in which love does not
cease from within the heart, to that God
in a mind that does not cease to its own God:
from whom to the earth, as it exists in Him,
the Son is not found, but all of the entirety
of His own, which in His thought is not found;
to us by a hand, indeed, from within
the heavens in darkness, even if it shines within
one of them in darkness, in the light of the heart
by the hand in which he lives in lives they are;
the life which they are from within
from them, the thought, rested in the body
of all of us, that we might see from them, if it be
that the Word was created before them.
