And
so it was
in an infinitesimal moment
that circumscribes the rise and fall of miraculous kingdoms
we will never read of in agèd manuscripts,
in the span of an aching heartbeat,
the whirling descent of an eyelash detached,
all dawdling ceases & the grey periphery transforms,
shifts to unragged focus
clarity.
[40 days]
divine revelation, submission, sickening tumbling sensation
wrenching heart palpitation, full surrender, transformation
pleading, “no, not ready yet, not ready”
yet born equipped
to stand,
refined,
alive to You,
shame stripped away,
for there is no place now
for loathing in Your glorious light.
In my weakness, You shine all the brighter.
