Glimpses of paradise

Jesus is like a walking,
talking garden of Eden –
a sphere of paradise on earth.
With him wrongs are righted,
darkness is dispelled
and everything that’s twisted
gets smoothed out again.

―Glen Scrivener

Love’s compulsion

Divine love
is incessantly restless
until it turns
all woundedness
into health,
all deformity
into beauty and
all embarrassment
into laughter.
