"A Second Morning"

Waters rising where wickedness reigned.
A chapel afloat held tomorrow's seed.
The dove returned with an olive reed.
Rainbow arches over a promise gained.

From ark to altar, blessings flow again.
Blood cries out, for now justice must reply.
All creatures shelter beneath the oath's eye.
Wine reveals what floodwaters had not slain.

From three branches, seventy rivers flow.
Bricks and mortar reach for forbidden heights.
Their tongue turns stranger to all in their sights.
An incomplete tower, all left the show.

Echoed a preacher's voice through the deaf years.
Hearts turned stone as heaven's door stands to give.
Sacred bonds profaned never to forgive.
Mercy measures time different than yours.
