Royal Treasures

.......

Fire blazing on the hill,

embers lining clouds

crimson, silver, gold--

God's treasures counted,

extravagantly spilled.

He could have chosen

to recall His fiery star

in discreet silence.

Instead He gifts the world

with nightly sunsets, feasts

for famished souls.

We go on our way refreshed,

reminded we are kings

and queens and richly loved--

oh, so richly loved!

From Our God Comes, And Will
Not Be Silent, a collection of
