#32veil

he made a way,
his body a bridge,
his death and awakening
a doorway
between this lowly land
and the pathways of heaven.
way-maker,
future-forger,
eye-opener,
the veil was torn in two,
the sea split apart,
death was undone
and the separation
was finished, finally,
once and for all.
so we could come boldly,
as children do,
no fears about their past,
no worries about their future,
their popularity, their fame,
they just come.
