Mystery

Beyond understanding, but clearly evident, an enigma:
to know, and yet not know; a choice, and undeniable.

You are loved and hated, but choose to love;
known in an instant and by slow process.

A man has said ‘such knowledge is too deep for me’
but knew you well enough to trust you fully.

How easy to forget in the face of time and endeavor,
your gift so easily ignored though so very precious.

This needy soul searches for understanding of his beginning
and his end when to believe you is to know it.

I strive to break the bonds of listlessness and pain
when it is not necessary to do so, if only I will remember.

I know your character by the work of your hands,
and your intent by your promise.  You never lied.

A map is given us for instruction and encouragement.
Our story together laid out, verifiable.

Looking back on history it can be seen,
You are indeed my Alpha and Omega.
