Proof

 Proof

Proof the World demands, as tokens
Of Thy Love and Presence,
Show us Thy Face!
Give us a sign!
We would see Christ

Not made by Thee, (man says) but hatch’d
From natural stuff and such,
Primate folk are we;
The Missing Link laughs
And beats his stump

O Man, so glorious, so arrogant,
“Fools and slow of heart!”
Ought not Man believe
That Christ suffered once,
Now wrapped in Glory?

Yea, and more than a man
This Jesus, dual-natured One;
God, bound for Heaven
Leads our captivity captive,
Man, no longer moribund

-S.E.S.
Trinitytide, 2006
