a statue stood
of a courtyard green
the garden, rose and thorn

you look at me
an enigma unseen
alabaster, stOne, marble

but i am still the One

(how could we not
be changed by this)

As the
watcher watching would   ? 
No !  the lover loving could ~

This fortress, insurmountable
by force
only the Mysterious Secret
will allay its course
You are still, the One.

kiss me before I turn to stone

Enjoyed the poem, To me, it gave a concrete (as in “stone”) expression to the theological abstraction of “incarnation theology”. The One is working through the many, each of us. And One is glimpsed in love. Love (big L love)  is “carved” into “love” (little l love). I liked the transformative lines that went with the concrete reality of love.

Nichole, I just now saw your comment. Glad you liked the poetry experience. It is a different path to the same destination we seem to be heading toward in the big Integral Post Metaphysics group discussions. One. 
  My thanks to niela for sharing her poem.
