Separated from core group

Dove communes with cross:

Initiation ritual

Satori deep

And many:

Total salvation

Sinless blood

Falls to the ground:

God at his best

Nailed to calvary’s tree

Sound of the dripping blood:

I was in the crowd

2

cling to the cross 

More and more:

spiritual wound 

Solomon spends seven years

Building the temple:

Pursuing the heaven of  truth

King of kings

Bleeds on the cross

Ransom for all 

God’s shepherd

Reigning king in spirit

Bears sins of many

NOTES

Satori (in Chinese: WU) occurs during enlightenment. It is a feeling of  union into one non-dual whole; the world of ’suchness’, ‘gateless gate’, ‘the raison d’etre of Zen’.
