Only the Cross to the Ascension
The moment in history
All that’s in existence converged
And all death reversed

Could carry through time
And into any substance
A miraculous compound
Potent enough

To change this for me.
This perfect element I believe
You call Love, Your substance,
To acquire is too valuable to cost anything

Worth everything
That ever existed.

I can’t offer my life.
It’s mostly gone,
And I’m not enough to trade
Even here on earth.

I can’t get to You.
I’m not even sure why to try
And no one is here
To carry me.

I don’t think
I will have the capacity
To enjoy anything again.
Not with any depth.

I don’t know if this petition
Is for relief in life,
Or release from it.

Can You see an answer?

I’m asking You
Knower of All,
God Almighty
The Only One

Is there an answer for me?
