Cross & Clouds (Photo credit: John H Wright Photo)
No more revolutionary thought than love
No greater or more simple call to arms
Against the tide of persistent individuality
And natural, bodily greed
Survival instincts programmed
For the selfish gene
And yet this emotion gestates, arises
The phoenix unexpected
Unintended and new
No more chaotically unbridled act than love
Deconstructing everything in the wake
Of sacrifice, warmth and care
Suddenly felt for another, as another
Giving up our very selves for something greater
Or someone smaller
On the axis of the blessed, ancient cross
All history and thought bled
Something new
Something new
