Your wine has the power
Your wine has the power
Your wine has the power
to obliterate my world.
Yet subtle and delicious
is Your wine.
Tonight, my chest is
soaked red from the heart’s goblet
that tilts and spills
whenever You draw near.
Have You come in response
to my morning prayers?
Or to my wailing and
weeping in middle of the night?
Or have You come of Your
own accord,
to work with the clay You
find?
It doesn’t
matter. You’re here now.
Take liberties with me
while I’m drunk and helpless.
Fashion me into a deeper
vessel, o Lord,
then fill my throat with
Your wine until I drown.
Let me go out of this
world oblivious to everything
but Your stranglehold,
Your blade lodged between my ribs.
Fear not, child of God,
once True Love comes to the door
obliteration is the only
possible result.
