Poem
It’s truly Greek to me and you “Agape” may sound like the English, agape I gape; are we awed by Christ loving me and you The human in me is a swine, sloppy and greedy for love Consumers-Supreme, like shopping for shoes and food, Hording homes, trophies, even the Dodo and dove Beloved, the love of God is not to be presumed The Creator of the behemoth, leviathan, and atom _ Imagine: He wants a relationship with puny humans Imagine: His kiss, the force that holds up the universe Prevents atoms from splitting in awe and fission Gave all to love ... gives every gift, but we won't converse O Holy Spirit, forgive me! I take too much for granted The One who split the firmament into heaven and ocean Who tells the blood how to make life’s music Became a baby in Mary’s womb, to grow slow by slow Suffer like us, become the Perfect Adam, such love Only He can take my rags, wrap me in His High Priestly robe! I used to be a romantic; forgive me for seeing how obscene Is a love that is all face and human flesh Forgetful, ungrateful of the source; agape love that kisses the perverse How to conceive this, almost beyond any human being Such love shames the greatest fairy tale or happily ever after I want too much ... missing all the while, mysteries of living Glory to Father-Son-Holy Spirit, amen.© Anil Deo, 20170331
