How does divine


light and love


become flesh


transcendent form


into sinew


bone and blood


a mystery


like matter exploding


forming a universe


to disassemble mystery


comprehend wonder


is like trying to define


why a sunset is beautiful


or mountains


inspire awe.


Mystery embraced


opens


allows


Incarnation


love and light


to awaken the soul


reforming


and transforming


the divine incarnate.
