Authorial Authenticity

Jesus painted with zeal
 
a perfect portrait of God
 
in his own life's blood
 
When it was finished,
 
he poured out the last drops
 
to seal it with a signature
 
which no one else can forge
 
God approved
 
and tore the curtain
 
to reveal how well

it matched his likeness
 
Finally someone understood
 
The door was opened
 
all windows shattered
 
Love flowed like a river
 
For love is only possible
 
when the lover and beloved
 
are known to each other
