I am weary
I am tired
I am overworn with
images of my spilled substance
Troubled by visions of
a path called righteous
But painful in its
delivery
My body broken worse
than stallions in a livery.
You mean to tell me
this is the only way I can display my wife chivalry?
My hands and feet
nailed the solitary option for opening Heavens' doors?
My side pierced the
absolute answer to calming wars?
The thorn crown the
testament of false judgment passed,
a full mockery of everything we built to
last?
Why must I be the
martyr?
My mother the one to
clean up the blood spilled at my slaughter?
I'm not interested in
excuses or litanies of my uses.
This Trinity is
feeling more and more obtuse
in its balance
Should be more
regular, a perfectly hung valance.
So I come in the wake
of words verbalized
Knowing this calling
but wondering if it is the right size
Not quite so sure the
shoes and gloves fit
So can they acquit me
on grounds of defense?
No answer in my normal
prayers
That is why I'm here,
having climbed stone stairs
To the highest peak in
Ceasara Philippi future Lebanon, strenuous
work for my three
brothers,
Who can not fathom the
full knowledge in plain sight but undercover.
I'm kneeling demanding
a response
Like the ones given
before this earthly body smothered
My direct line.
I demand the right to
see ancestors not given to any simple beings
It is time - I want a
conference
To guide my pending
exodus.
Make my countenance a
brilliant, dazzling light,
purer than the freshly
fallen snow so white.
Wider than the biggest
moon lit so bright
My clothes even
reflect the change.
In the company of the
Law and the Prophet we discuss exit strategies
In the spirit realm.
Translate Me
Grant me access to the
resources
Transform Me
Mold this clay from
the Rabbi
into the second coming
of Adam warrior
Responsible for
conquering Death and any minion that wishes harm
Our children.
Transpose Me.
That my presence, long
after this body is gone, might stay
Restore me to my
former glory, I pray.
Transfigure me
