The Man.
Not yet flesh-and-blood-clad
an informed essence traced familiar
space in joy's timeless dimensions
then gladness for living in airy realms
met human need at ether's earth-edge,
called by request an Only-Begotten
became eager to manifest.
Apple of Father's kingly eye
descended mightiness, mission-sent
in princely service, male-shaped and
love-veined pity walked as The Man,
gathering awed listeners and openly
talking of narrow's divinely-set way
toward state of redemption.
Truth-driven, without fear
freedom-revealer scorched pride and
fiercely tore aside feeble excuses for
uncaring tax-tables of lucre-exchange,
much despised yet understanding He
bent in submission then faced anger's
ire to bear undeserved sentence.
Cuffed as thorned reprobate
silent remained and while high-court
rose to vilify spit and condemn, Love
stood alone, mocked for absolving all
unknowing error, prepared to suffer
in facing nail-staked slow death.
Outlawed and buried, grave
could hold but the form for life-force
arose, showed such attack had freed
inner Being, mould-bound in human
denial, un-humbled pride never saw
Love's undying success.
