care more than some think is wise; risk more than some think is safe;
dream more than some think is practical; expect more than some think is possible

a broken altar

sanctimonious lies
pure eyes, radiant white
a heart of darkness 
deceit is well alive 

at the altar stand
veil soon to be removed
the husband anxious
bride covering her shame

he stares intense at her
she shutters at his glare
so loving, so true
she knows the truth is known

broken, bruised, deceived
she collapses to floor
crying, lying not
life fades as she weeps long

he stoops to
her side
from behind shy, red eyes
she sees and behold
the crown, thorns buried deep

blood trickles along his brow
hands bruised, pierced through
clear tears streak, stream down
he speaks forgiveness whole

the whore he welcomes in
the thief he will pardon
the stains removed now
upon us his face shines
