fons vivus, ignis caritas

wordcraft for the feast of shavuot/pentecost:

in the cascade of
a living fountain, a fiery love
incident of pure saveur
a vulnerable moment
formed with fire and water
a baptism sealing the signs
and wonders of Love who
with the diligence of a master craftsman
lovingly submits Her Masterpiece
to the blazing travails
of an inferno unbound
separating the impurities
while new strength is found
forged in a life of fierce devotion
flowing from a living Source
both within and without
