Grüne Gewölbe: Dresden 2019

“…where thieves break through and steal…”

-Saint Matthew 6:19

And so it came to pass that thieves broke through
To steal some shiny things; they left their souls
There to decay among fragmented glass
Unhappy ghosts who somehow lost their way

The Elbe cannot wash away men’s sins
Nor can the priests at the Frauenkirche
Unless a sinner kneels among his loss
And confesses the wreckage of his work

Now may it come to pass that Grace breaks through
To heal all wandering souls, and give us life
