Omega

Omega

I stand.

Long mirror reflecting me.

One fear

trapped within my confused mind.

Two eyes

see chains twisting around me.

Three padlocks

securing my tightening bonds.

Four horsemen

wait at the ready to ride.

Five offerings

desperate for ancient mercy.

Six days

before Eve conceived of me.

Seven sins

have built my iron prison.

Eight men

telling me to accept grace.

Nine fruits

if only I would take them.

Ten commandments

telling me that I’ve lived wrong.

One God.

One snake

One Apple

One flood

One Virgin

One baby

One dove

One son

One cross

One tomb

One risen

One chance

For one eternal life.

All there ever was was one.
