An Aside

I lied.
Facade? applied.
Reality? denied!
My weaknesses, I hide;
Fallibility deride:
I tried.

I tried, so I cried.
Facade? despised;
Reality? collides.
Weaknesses? belied.
Infallibility? pushed aside.
I cried, so you died.

I lied, I tried, I cried, inside
On high, you spied, you cried, you died.

I erred:
Wrath incurred,
Your love deferred,
Grace?! “Absurd!”
Yet: my sins…? interred?
Such love? Unheard.

Such love, Absurd!
My cries… unheard?
To I, never it occured:
Despite heaven assured,
I, you preferred;
I, you endured.

From the cross we heard thundered:
Forgive those of sin under -
Despite how we blundered.
And with that, Hell’s gate, sundered.
For us: a Wonder.
