NOT JUST ONCE

Sand and stars are not enough,
there must be proof,
such as stones capable of love
to raise up children.

A test beyond reason,
in order to move
the incredible mountain
and bring down the sun.

Something uncommon, a sign
of God in man,
not just once, but as many times
as the times demand.

Still nothing satisfies,
human or divine:
the hand that stopped Abraham
drove the nail through Christ's.
