Skin

Given as a gift But seen as punishment He clothed them in skin Bound with animal To roam in fear Manifesting man's sin Self-preservation Defensively moving To find a place of rest Knowledge for longing That reached to take What was NOT given or blessed Insolence identifying Pride roaring about Against authority Necromancy of old Connecting the worlds To gain the final majority S...K...I...N... Meant to be shed For clear, strong connection Moving in freedom With FATHER LOVE Ending possibility of insurrection Do you still have SKIN... Written by Trudy Schrader on 11-13-2022
