DNA
Double helix shimmers
Potential gleams
History screams
Map of future in each cell
Tattered, burnt,
when parents fell
What could have been
lies but in dream
Reality
lies in between
The curve of gleam
and what is seen
Double spiral twirls around
Up to the sky
or down to ground
Mystery gleams
History screams
Scars lie buried
Shame still carried
Eternity walks on the stairs
Flesh flounders under cross and cares
Can the ladder be remade?
Double helix bent in shade
Waits.
Redemption price was paid
But realized when mortals fade.
One day spiral stairs will climb
Where tears and death and pain and crime
No longer torment broken hearted.
The stairs will end where we once started:
The garden - love and life and peace -
Restored from greatest to the least.
