Light Child

"The decree is for the truth to [[be]] experienced by all humankind, if [[not]] in this [[life]], then after [[death]]." - Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri

Reality conforms to your deepest [[hope]],
sweet child, poking your finger
in My wound, a hole of light in the light.

And I [[will]] stand trial
for suffering and point quietly
to the background sound of waves;
[[water]] heaving its generous [[truth]] amidst
all this endless [[grace]].

Will you [[remember]] then
the covenant you [[witness]]ed
when I asked if you could bear Me
cutting My[[self]]?
