Lilith's song

slow and gentle
our hearts tug
ever loosening
the grip
ego holds over soul
ever urging
enticing

Love stands
not above
but
beyond reason

mysterious in its ways
knowing its destiny
forces from primal depths
echo
a song sung
by the beating heart
sung and re-sung
heartbeat upon heartbeat
until
the whole body hums in unison

amputation unclean
without anesthetic
ragged and raw
my body
shudders with remorse
my throat tightens
heart aches

parting with the beloved
bleeding to death...

come holy spirit
wash away
mis-taken identity
when I think
I am not (sorry Immanuel)
unshadowed by reflection
let innocence
lead...
