THE GAP

THE GAP (to Hugh and you)

The jealousy of Sadducees –
The scorn of Pharisees –
Betrayal by Perdition’s kiss –
The rage of enemies –

Rejection was apostasy –
The Crucifixion’s crime –
Despising the Anointed One
Poured shadow throughout time.

Disdaining of the Holy House –
The piercing of His hands
Was Excommunication’s doom
Extending through all lands.

Meridian of Majesty –
Though brief – was infinite –
A dispensation of the Fall
And Restoration’s net.
