A Crimson Tree

This was the picture

Of a beautiful union

Loves display

From beyond time

Past distance stars

Of glorious galaxies

Given

To each other

To eternity

To love

For release

Forever

This was the picture

Of sacrifice

Loves declaration

Crimson tree

Where mystery cried

In nails

In tears

For love

This was the picture

Of intimate union

Loves desire

Interwoven in flesh

Born in the spirit

Called

For each other.
