He held her hand
and it was life, a worthy world
for two totally in love, lust negated
together, dazzlingly embraced
embarking in an onward journey
to feel and fulfill the fortunate destiny
of two beings in one
to create the wishes of the cross
that in sin a child is borne
to serve woman, man, itself, heaven
and in that sin the world’s
mountains marvelously move before the child
for he or she will shift, rumble, shape and alter the world
in a Christly manner, striving, but being imperfect
and child become adult and see the errors
of the ways in which they lived
and thank God for the greater-good
in which child created, adult-abound
and in personal potency shall the
adult admit immoral behavior and trade their sin
by confession of rushing river run
and declaration of mouth
that Christ was crossed
nail-driven, humble pride, crimson blood,
all for child and adult, man and woman
and with that confession adult will be cleansed
of mortal sins, and strives not to be like others
or have idols as it is easy to do,
but strive to be like Christ
transfixing temptations tossed fourth
going from there adult will make assessments
and endeavor to be better
so in Christ we follow, amen.
