be holy for I am holy

our Lords spoke to Moses

           of priests
           &the holy
sacrifices&
               cleanliness
               &laity in worship
orientated for all

our Lords spoke to Moses

of the presence
               of God
permanent 
              yet localised
a tent of appointment
a visual rendez-vous
to tabernace anew

our Lords spoke to Moses

to be holy
            not commonplace
purified
sanctified
       a perpetual call
                               to all

our Lords spoke to Moses

of sacrifice for sin
supposing of blessing
&curses
             a twin

our Lords spoke to Moses

of allegiance&redemption
in
    covenant&pledge
    changing of ways
&
   reciprocation
                      instead

our Lords spoke to Moses

in
   scripture inspired
of love
         to others
                        neighbours
heartfelt
with strength
                   mind&soul
to
seek out
            completeness
divine grace
face-face
