Not only can I not get away from mercy,
Mercy cannot even stay as itself.
Mercy is more now,
Than what mercy used to be.
She cannot be placed in a shelf
She is more than an elf.
And mercy will forever become more now.
Than what mercy used to be.
Trust me, this much I know,
And you will see.
She is not a woman,
As neither is your cushion.
She is like the wind that moves countless drops of dew.
As the sprue of the life in which it threw you.
And forever it moves you ahead,
Across the bed through which it spread its endless thread.
Forever new,
through the grace like the movement of a single dew.
The ease which with your life it flew,
Before you can even say that it was through.
You will come to know again that all that is new,
Has always been old and true.
Here and now, where all that is exists.
Forever unfolds,
mercy’s grace, as the old untwists.
And the new unfolds.
And I did not even write this,
as much as mercy wrote it for me.
For if you let her into your life,
You will see.
The she is the key,
Behind every tree.
The life that exists in all things,
The movement behind every string
And every wing,
And every king.
For ever the new it brings.
And for ever to nothing it clings.
Mercy’s grace,
That is always in perfect pace.
The one that is behind every face.
And evermore leaves no trace.
The one that you can always embrace,
As the all of infinite, endless and eternally all embracing space.
