Creation Story

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 holy place
Tracing a thousand amens along my spine
And you unearth me like ancient scripture
Travel over me a pilgrimage
Each heartbeat is prophecy
And 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
