O God

O Him

Offered the death of innocence

Elohim

Out of obedience

Buried in the silence of shame

Lived in the tomb of this body for years

O God

O Him

Taken again behind the altar

O God

O Him

Felled in pools

Of tears, blood, vomit, piss

When lying

Was no longer an option

And wisdom replaced ignorance

With an Oath

Out of sheer terror, greed, love, rage

A veil was torn

O God

O Him

In spite of humanity

The miracle of flesh descending and rising

Came to greet the light of truth

O

O God

O Him

For I AM

The Song of Songs

O my love

How I love you

With this defiled body

On the morning you wake

To worship at your feet

Embodied in hope

In the seat of your soul

O God

O Him

Ostara

Omega

And with each passing year of restored peace

I sing
