Two views—one true

You are not defined by chemistry, my friend,by DNA and the atomic dust of today, or dust of Eden,of what begins now, or in mystic lore, and changesand must end.

My wife and IBoth fell in love withAll that God has doneIn each of us.

No one, not ever

No onecan make us sinor be a sinner.

Claim your day

In my day, shall there be night (ignorance, fear)—orillumination (love sincere)?

Not crime/not time

I have never been held on any death row,Never been imprisoned in a cellblock so;Nor am I a human storage binOf wrath or fear, disease or sin,Sentenced to die by earthly law or medical decree—I am God's man, His image, wholly freeOf error's ways or ill desire,Not mortal selfhood set on fireBy evil thrust.
The wily serpent, finding that his skinis now an outgrown, worn-out sheath,simply shrugs it offand moves on, free in the new onealready right there underneath.
