In the beginning, there was only us
Before light was first spoken we existed
In the moments before Genesis, before the taste of forbidden fruit
A speck of dust to ignite generations.
And we know this darkness well,
We move through it with the speed of love or light.
Your ribs, a creation blueprint beneath my fingers
Your mouth, a holiness tracing a thousand Amens along my spine
And you unearth me like ancient scripture
Travel over me a pilgrimage
Each heartbeat is prophecy.
There are revelations here
There is gospel nestled in your palms,
Psalms, proverbs, parables in the warmth of your breath.
We are a creation story,
A testament to weathering storms two by two.
The audacity to walk on water,
Take down giants
And I only need look at the miracles unfolding in your smile,
The promise of resurrection on your lips
To remember,
There is salvation in a kiss
There are small mercies in a pulse.
And they will call this blasphemy
Say we spit in the face of holiness the way we worship
But there is no greater proof of God than this.
There is no closer to divine than us.
We are the Lazarus rise of a stack of bones.
There are red seas parting in our veins and
We are lights at the frequency of everything.
We are the promise of eternity
Whispered into the night.
