enough
blood, nails, tree
I, your God, love you dearly
I designed you to love me
and despite that I died on the cross
your heart declares, I am not enough
it appears I must ask, have I not made foolish the wisdom of the world?
you fiddle with what is foolish because you feel you need to earn love
you find fame will make you feel alive?
if it were not for my blessings, you wouldn’t be able to breathe
you fiddle with what is foolish because you feel you need to earn love
you think fulfilling your fantasies
will fulfill your longings?
I alone should already fulfill you
you fiddle with what is foolish because you feel you need to earn love
you believe money will buy you happiness?
well I bought you
you were purchased at a price
of blood, nails, and a tree
I am not a patch you put on your arm to suppose you prominent
I am not contrived to be counted upon only after you comprehend everyone else will fail you
I am not to be reserved as a last resort
if anything I am the resort
I am everything you ever envisioned and more
it is only the ignorance of the world that informs you
that the breadth between us is far too broad
for you to be utterly and completely surrendered
to my perfect love
blood, nails, tree
I called you to be more like me
not to be more like a pharisee
I called you to be an alien of this world
I called you to stand up for the cause of life
and boldly go against the norm
to be my daughter, be my son
it was not me who convinced you to compromise perfection for anything and everything else
I died on a cross for you
how is that not enough?
blood, nails, tree
I sense you standing still for my second coming
I, I am still too
I am still waiting for you
to rebel against the instinct called satan
and sacrifice all you have to fall in love with me
to have a heart
to have a soul
with the willingness to welcome me with open arms nailed to a tree
because it is then
that the harvest is ripe
