Genesis Revisited

[crossnote]

into confusion, into human ruin,
into anarchy, death's closest rune.
Onto the Judean hillside.
An only girl, an empty place
a beating heart, God's forming Face...
and then...
the Son
of the ETERNAL FATHER
becoming flesh
suffering in our stead
bleeding, hanging
unto death.. conquering death
..this world's Darkness.

A little help on this.
It is a poetic account of the new creation in comparison of the first creation in Genesis where God spoke into the darkness...now He Himself entered into that darkness.

No, all the poems I put up are my own. I seldom read other poets.
I'm honored to have a style of another known poet...I guess.
If I ever quote someone else knowingly, I will give them their due mention.

You're very good. Hopkins is quite famous, so stylistically, you're in very talented company. God bless you and yours.
