Spectrum

Spectrum

By: R. A. Slater

One day I took a good hard look

At the Law they called the Word

And could not comprehend the stark shadings

Of absolute light and absolute dark

There was no warmth of love here

Only the harshness of fire and cold

Because it is just chapter in a book

And does not tell the all

Of the depth of His creation

The spectrum of His character

The deeds that He had done

One cannot look at the Law

Without looking at the Love

Sprinkled in the moments in-between

Like a jealous lover

Coveting our attention

His temper He sometimes lost

But remembering Himself

He draws close to us

Our hearts to woo

As He asks for our forgiveness

How can we say no to that?

Forgive as we’ve been forgiven

Love as we’ve been loved

Fully and passionately without reserve

Risking it all for a capricious one like us

There is no black and white in this place

Nor flitting shades of grey

For here the full spectrum resides

In the hearts of Men

Not in the pages of a book
