I Have Sinned

I have sinned, friend.

But my sin is not a God
To smother my Divinity.

Innate, alive
God writhes within me,
A burning fire
A tripartite light.

How low I sank
I may not tell
But in the muddy
Fires of Hell
Is not my destination.

I drank from an evil cup
And yet
God took me to his bosom
And I Am transfigured.

Me, a Sinner.
A broken piece of pottery
That can no more
Hold water

And yet
He mendeth it
And makes it His Abode

Now what GOD
Would live in a broken teapot?
Nay, MENDED!

The God of very Gods, 
The Son of Suns.

Behold He is I Am
And I Am
Is alive forevermore within me

He shall yet win his way through my Heart,
And I will be alive in HIM

Forever.

SELAH!
