Epiphany – a showing forth

What did they find amid the mess of humanity,

dispersed, dislocated, de facto dispossessed by a

collaborative cabal from within and without the wall;

a mess of humanity birthed in the mire of

the base realm which we inhabit – the primitive mammalian

surge redeemed by love time after time –

what did they find that brought them to their knees,

weak with humility?

    Evocative and thought provoking-
    reminded of that need to be “brought to their knees, weak with humility.”
