"Eternity's Love Song"
a Nativity Scene in the Desert
Resplendent and naked
arms outstretched and head tilted,
he knelt before the five female
Apostles of Compassion.
Each wielding a dripping rose,
painting love secrets
across his chest.
Two vocalists and a reed harmonium
drew in the music of The Spheres,
Creating a long lost nativity scene,
while the wind howled its approval...
Who dares hold open the gate so long?
Heaven rarely pauses
long enough
to watch
Heart melting into Matter.
And flowers blushing before a Cross of Grace.
For arrivals are never late
for a song which sings of
Love's Fate.
