Five Minutes

(original title: Five Minutes of Pure God)

one ecstatic moment
for what it all meant
nothing, everything
rolled into one and bent

from below from above
the lost one like a dove
carrying on in the echoing cave
of sacrifice and I am a slave

to worship magnify glorify
who is god what why
from within the word aloud
rising up from the void from the shroud

i don't want to see your holy sign
look there's jesus dead this is his shrine
he's here as in me oh god so dear
despite myself i had to hear

gregorian chant mixed with [the] new age
or just pure heart and the soul's last page
still a captive still belong
you spoke to my heart and now i'm strong

PamEhli/1998
