Incarnation
Having been so long untouched,
I’d become a child beyond touch
and unclean.
So, when suffocatingly
roused from a nightmare of death
to unbreathable silence
in an oxygen tent, I cried
afraid of dying alone.
From somewhere
(outside of all darkness)
you appeared
(starched-pinafored and perfumed
a student nurse working nights
after classes)
bringer of light
restorer of air
redeemer.
At your

F The Incarnation
Eternal God did not abandon man after Papa Adam fell into sin
But promised to send the world a Savior to free man from his sins
And to re-opento him the gates of Heaven
The Savior of all men is Jesus Christ
The chief teaching of the Catholic C/hurch about Jesus Christ
Is that He is Eternal God made

Humbly I Bow
A star shown above his birth for two years;
A star that only those of faith could see.
He left His royal court and majesty
In humble exchange for a trough and tears.
Because of my sin I could not see Him,
Even though His star shown brightly around.
Then His holy hand reached out and touched me
And pulled me back

If there was no one
to believe
would there still
be truth
If there was no one
to tell
would silence
take root
If there was no one
to laugh
would smiles
be gone
If there was no one
to love
would all feeling

Your Incarnation
A stirring storm of lightning like lava caused commotion.
Among seraphims and cherubims… clouded confusion.
The father asked, when all prophets failed, 'who, now, would I send?'
Celestials, like souls of ghosts, stood benumbed at your consent.
Didn't the chorus of 'Holy' give you endless pleasure?
Did the heavens strain you so that you sought earthly leisure?
The galaxies and

The Incarnation
How elegant was the world you had made, God, my Father
The sun, the moon, and the stars, as fully alive, functioned.
Herbs, shrubs, plants, trees, flies, birds, beasts, and humans had their honor
Each speck, as though a heavenly gem, by no power, shunned
Eve disobeyed. Cain killed. The list, like a chain, continued.
When will these vices end?

Incarnation Of Jesus
As the Polaris shines at day-night, night-day transition
And lightens up nooks and crannies of all eight directions
To confirm the covenant as per David's tradition
The Virgin brought forth the prism of multi-hued reflections
As per the saints' and sages' prophecies, the endless Word
From the tiny town of Bethlehem, he began his strife
As perceived by the Spirit, he'd

Temporal incarnation of Aphrodite
Temporal incarnation of Aphrodite...
induces idyllic reverie
delight evoking similar surge,
when skirting, and eluding
fidelity defining the marital law
on par with courting in flagrante delicto.
After reading about
Greek goddess of love
fancy notion woke whereof
warmth suffused me
snug as fingers fitted into glove
subsequent laissez faire attitude
welcomed salvation, overstimulation,
labialization, impenetration,
fornication, and consummation from above.
Hands folded prayer
like

Desert Flower Soul
How is it that I know your eyes?
That I understand
the language
of your spirit?
Yet
We are discovering each other
in this moment
for the first time.
Within how many lifetimes
have we met?
What is the number counted
for how often
our hands
have reached to dance?
Hands of strangers
upon first meeting
however known
across the expanse
of incarnations – once touched.
Lips that speak
of silent forever’s
adrift

Consubstantial
Ere time, consubstantial were God and Word,
distinct yet intertwined, same, not homoi.
Creator, light by darkness never blurred,
life’s author, shining source of man's great joy.
A man from God, John did come to proclaim,
profess the light that all men might believe.
"Prepare the way," the herald did exclaim,
the Maker of the world to be received.
Though come unto his

Ancient

Ancient powers forever lost
Mourn their passing
When time stands still.
Wander over hill and dale
March along the river's edge
On no occasion to be found.
Again, sweet song sung by the water
Beauty's incarnation to see the light nevermore.

Sing Today - O Sing This Day
O thousand Tongues sing, sing of Christ
Jesus, Chosen vehicle, human receptacle
Of fatherly fondness, for who would be wise
Admitting we do what we ought not, not what we ought
That we sin, inclination native to Adam's race
II
O sing of Jesus the Christ; He is Grace
O sing for Jesus Christ, whose willingness
To get up on a cruel cross,
